Several Kaffirs, caught in the act of stealing were brought into King William's Town; and, after receiving one hundred lashes, were dismissed. Prison rations were thus dispensed with, and these Kaffirs became, for a period a least, a warning and a mockery to their tribes. In Kaffirland, as in China, disgrace is attached to a thief, not for stealing, but for being found out. The division under Major Sutton, Cape Mounted Rifles, and Captain Hogg, 7th Dragoon Guards, which had moved from Shiloh, captured two hundred head of cattle in the Amatolas, and killed a few Kaffirs; with the loss, on our side, of Serjeant Phillips, Cape Mounted Rifles, and formerly of the 91st. Although incessant rains deluged the country, the troops continued healthy. In reply to Sandilla's messages, Jan T'Jatzoe was desired to intimate to him that no terms would be listened to from him but those of unconditional surrender. This T'Jatzoe, to whom I have before alluded as a Kaffir who had been exhibited in England [at Exeter Hall, at Sheffield, etc, in 1836] in the false character of a Christian Chief, played a cunning part during the war of 1846-7, and was actually engaged in the attack on the waggons at Trumpeter's Drift. The British public were completely imposed upon by this savage heathen, for such he is, and ever will be. On his return from England, whither he had gone, or rather been taken, in direct opposition to the orders and wishes of his father, a petty Chief [Note 1], he was asked many questions by his tribe, concerning the country he had visited. "Was it large?" "Yes, it was large; but the people were so numerous they found it small." "Were they so very numerous?" "Yes; England was like a huge piece of meat covered with flies crowding upon each other." "What surprised him most?" "The waggons which travelled without oxen or horses." (Railway carriages.) "Ah," said Macomo, after a conversation of this kind with T'Jatzoe, "I have always told our people, that there was no use in trying to conquer the white man. It is like little boys attempting to shoot elephants with small bows and arrows."
