Fundi needed a little wholesome discipline. He was forgetting his porter days, and was rapidly coming to consider himself a full-fledged gunbearer. The occasion soon arose. We were returning from a buffalo hunt and ran across two rhinoceroses, one of which carried a splendid horn. B. wanted a well developed specimen very much, so we took this chance.
Ever hear of Winkleman?" "Rather! The native fundi? You don't mean to say you've got him!" "I've got him. He's the only specimen in these parts. But I can show you several thousand of the best fighting men in Africa all loyal British allies." "Good man!" cried a grizzled old settler. "I told 'em you'd do it!"

The audacity of their methods is illustrated by the raid on Fundi in 1534, when Barbarossa swooped down on that town simply to seize Giulia Gonzaga reputed the loveliest woman in Italy for the Sultan's harem: the fair Duchess of Trajetto hardly escaped in her nightdress. The Eastern Mediterranean, after the capture of Rhodes, was almost entirely a Turkish preserve.
