All the splendid valour displayed, all the incomparable devotion and endurance manifested, had been wasted poured out like their blood on the sand sacrificed to the senseless suspicions of a brutal, irresponsible tyrant. Nor was any living creature one whit the gainer save the hyaenas. Tshaka, King of the Zulus, sat in his royal kraal one morning in November, 1816. His Majesty was in a bad temper.
We slew them in crowds, but they were too many for us, and we had no food. I have brought the stone to show that I tried to do your bidding." When Tshaka recognised Kondwana, his superstitious fears at once vanished. Here was no wizard potent for evil, but his own man Kondwana, the induna, whom he hated and had sent away so as to be rid of him.
For the rest, he learned that these people were of Zulu stock, and having opposed the accession of Tshaka, when that potentate usurped the royal seat of Dingiswayo, had deemed it advisable to flee. They had migrated northward, even as Umzilikazi and his followers had done, though some years prior to the flight of that chieftain.
And now the solitary white man in its midst captive or guest, he himself was hardly certain which had an opportunity of admiring the stern and iron discipline of this splendid army of savages. That of the Zulu troops under the rule of Cetywayo, or even under that of Tshaka, might have equalled it, but could not possibly have surpassed it.
