Mbelebele brought with him over 200 guns. He also brought information that Mangondo, another chief whose dwelling is near the Inkankla, would surrender if assured of safety against the vengeance of the king. Mbelebele seems to have been a man much trusted by the other chiefs, as he had been in correspondence with the younger brother of Cetywayo, Tyami, Usmwelu, Usiteon, and with Sekatewayo, a northern chief, who all manifested a wish to come in and surrender their arms, cattle, and ammunition, provided life and safety were assured. The chief, in speaking of the king, although somewhat reticent on some points, was certainly not so on others, and stoutly maintained that Cetywayo had doubled upon his pursuers, and so far from being, as was thought, on his way westward to Secocoeni, was in all likelihoods heading back towards a kraal beyond the Lebombo range, called Mussipulo. This information, of course, was at once sent to Lord Gifford and to Colonel Baker Russell. Sir Garnet Wolseley's next move was on to Fort Victoria, Ulundi, where he arrived on August 9th. On the following day he received information which eventually led to the capture of Cetywayo; but of this we shall speak hereafter. CHAPTER XIV. Plans for the capture of Cetywayo--The Jantjis--Vijn's appearance at Victoria--His narrative--Its consequences--Despatch of Major Barrow and Lord Gifford in pursuit of the king--Their march--Description of country traversed--Gifford and Maurice sent on by Barrow--Marches and countermarches--Physical characteristics of country; its flora and fauna--Visit to kraal of friendly Zulus--Capture of two of the king's attendants--Women of the king's household captured--Captain and twenty Basutos join Lord Gifford--Gifford's stratagem to obtain information of the king's hiding-place--Cetywayo's refuge discovered--Forced night-march--Message to Major Marter--His arrival on the scene--Capture of the king. Meantime the meshes of the net spread for King Cetywayo's capture were being more and more closely woven. Colonel Villiers, who it has been before mentioned had been sent to Oham's district, having got together a force of 65 Europeans and 3050 natives in a fair state of organization, had by August 13th advanced as far as the Assegai river, so as to form a junction with M'Leod and his 5000 Swazis, at that time on the banks of the Pongolo, and thus complete the chain round that side of the Zulu country.
