FOOTNOTES:
[1] In 1864 by a treaty between the Portuguese and the Republic the
Lobombo range of mountains was agreed upon as a boundary between
them, but I am not aware that the natives living to the east of these
mountains were ever made a party to this treaty.
[2] Vol. ii. p. 164.
[3] “South Africa,” by John Noble, p. 173 B.
[4] The Italics are my own.
[5] I believe he did receive the stipend all through.
[6] The purchasers were in treaty for De Beer’s farm at the time when
the first diamond was found by a lady’s parasol on the little hill
where is now the Kimberley mine, and £600 was added to the purchase
money in consequence. It is calculated that diamonds to the value of
£12,000,000 have since been extracted from the mine.
[7] I find the story told with slight variation by different persons.
I have taken the version published in the second edition of Messrs.
Silver’s Handbook, having found ample reason to trust the accuracy of
that compilation. See p. 378 of that volume.
[8] This is an abominable word, coined as I believe for the use of the
British Diamond Fields;--but it has become so common that it would be
affectation to avoid the use of it.
[9] Since this was written a mail steamer with a large amount of these
diamonds among the mails has gone to the bottom of the sea. The mails,
and with the mails, the diamonds have been recovered; but in such a
condition that they cannot be recognised and given up to the proper
owners. They are lying at the General Post Office, and how to dispose
of them nobody knows.
