[Footnote 132: "The runner that took the duiker for his model." The duiker is a small antelope.] [Footnote 133: This farm, in 1881, belonged to the Swiss Mission Society. It was bonded to the Standard Bank, when a rent of £1 per hut was charged by the trustees. Later on, it was sold to Messrs. Theunis Nel and Gabriel Botha.] [Footnote 134: There is a standing rule that no Native may appear in a European town unless clothed from neck to knee.] [Footnote 135: Dilke.] [Footnote 136: A week before, Clarke had been sent with a strong force to make the arrest. On his reaching Greytown, arrangements were made for a night raid on Bambata's kraal, but, owing to Chief Sibindi informing the Secretary for Native Affairs that Bambata would probably cause trouble if raided, Clarke was directed to refrain from executing the warrant, although he had gone to the trouble of ascertaining that the Chief was at his kraal and could have been secured with comparative ease.] [Footnote 137: The sending of Ngqengqengqe to summon Bambata and the inciting of Bambata to rebel were emphatically denied by Dinuzulu. Dinuzulu's connection with the Rebellion will be dealt with later. One of Bambata's children died at Usutu during their stay there.] [Footnote 138: Thong of cow or ox-hide.] [Footnote 139: It was generally known Cakijana was one of Dinuzulu's personal attendants.] [Footnote 140: It is the custom for Zulus to shout their war-cry on charging. "Usutu" was the one belonging to Dinuzulu's followers, he having inherited it from his father Cetshwayo. Dinuzulu's principal kraal, it will be remembered, bore the same name. Bambata's men had not used this cry before the occasion in question.] [Footnote 141: It is, however, fair to add that Mansel had had no time to ascertain the enemy's strength, which, seeing the size of the tribe, might have been anything between 150 and 600.] [Footnote 142: It was not known until after the column got to camp that this man was missing.] [Footnote 143: He was known also by the names Sukabekuluma (_he who goes off whilst they are still talking_); Dakwaukwesuta (_he who becomes drunk on getting a full meal_); and Gwazakanjani (_how do you stab?_). One of his praises was: _uSigilamikuba, ku vel'izindaba_ = The one whose pranks give rise to matters for consideration.] VIII.
