Still
gazing
with
fond
remembrance
at
Good
's
trousers
,
Infadoos
next
informed
us
that
he
had
commanded
the
regiments
to
muster
so
soon
as
the
day
broke
,
in
order
to
explain
to
them
fully
the
origin
and
circumstances
of
the
rebellion
which
was
decided
on
by
the
chiefs
,
and
to
introduce
to
them
the
rightful
heir
to
the
throne
,
Ignosi
.
Accordingly
,
when
the
sun
was
up
,
the
troops
--
in
all
some
twenty
thousand
men
,
and
the
flower
of
the
Kukuana
army
--
were
mustered
on
a
large
open
space
,
to
which
we
went
.
The
men
were
drawn
up
in
three
sides
of
a
dense
square
,
and
presented
a
magnificent
spectacle
.
We
took
our
station
on
the
open
side
of
the
square
,
and
were
speedily
surrounded
by
all
the
principal
chiefs
and
officers
.
These
,
after
silence
had
been
proclaimed
,
Infadoos
proceeded
to
address
.
He
narrated
to
them
in
vigorous
and
graceful
language
--
for
,
like
most
Kukuanas
of
high
rank
,
he
was
a
born
orator
--
the
history
of
Ignosi
's
father
,
and
of
how
he
had
been
basely
murdered
by
Twala
the
king
,
and
his
wife
and
child
driven
out
to
starve
.
Then
he
pointed
out
that
the
people
suffered
and
groaned
under
Twala
's
cruel
rule
,
instancing
the
proceedings
of
the
previous
night
,
when
,
under
pretence
of
their
being
evil-doers
,
many
of
the
noblest
in
the
land
had
been
dragged
forth
and
wickedly
done
to
death
.
Next
he
went
on
to
say
that
the
white
lords
from
the
Stars
,
looking
down
upon
their
country
,
had
perceived
its
trouble
,
and
determined
,
at
great
personal
inconvenience
,
to
alleviate
its
lot
:
That
they
had
accordingly
taken
the
real
king
of
the
Kukuanas
,
Ignosi
,
who
was
languishing
in
exile
,
by
the
hand
,
and
led
him
over
the
mountains
:
That
they
had
seen
the
wickedness
of
Twala
's
doings
,
and
for
a
sign
to
the
wavering
,
and
to
save
the
life
of
the
girl
Foulata
,
actually
,
by
the
exercise
of
their
high
magic
,
had
put
out
the
moon
and
slain
the
young
fiend
Scragga
;
and
that
they
were
prepared
to
stand
by
them
,
and
assist
them
to
overthrow
Twala
,
and
set
up
the
rightful
king
,
Ignosi
,
in
his
place
.
He
finished
his
discourse
amidst
a
murmur
of
approbation
.
Then
Ignosi
stepped
forward
and
began
to
speak
.
Having
reiterated
all
that
Infadoos
his
uncle
had
said
,
he
concluded
a
powerful
speech
in
these
words
:
--
"
O
chiefs
,
captains
,
soldiers
,
and
people
,
ye
have
heard
my
words
.
Now
must
ye
make
choice
between
me
and
him
who
sits
upon
my
throne
,
the
uncle
who
killed
his
brother
,
and
hunted
his
brother
's
child
forth
to
die
in
the
cold
and
the
night
.
That
I
am
indeed
the
king
these
"
--
pointing
to
the
chiefs
--
"
can
tell
you
,
for
they
have
seen
the
snake
about
my
middle
.
If
I
were
not
the
king
,
would
these
white
men
be
on
my
side
with
all
their
magic
?
Tremble
,
chiefs
,
captains
,
soldiers
,
and
people
!
Is
not
the
darkness
they
have
brought
upon
the
land
to
confound
Twala
and
cover
our
flight
,
darkness
even
in
the
hour
of
the
full
moon
,
yet
before
your
eyes
?
"
"
It
is
,
"
answered
the
soldiers
.
"
I
am
the
king
;
I
say
to
you
,
I
am
the
king
,
"
went
on
Ignosi
,
drawing
up
his
great
stature
to
its
full
,
and
lifting
his
broad-bladed
battle-axe
above
his
head
.
"
If
there
be
any
man
among
you
who
says
that
it
is
not
so
,
let
him
stand
forth
and
I
will
fight
him
now
,
and
his
blood
shall
be
a
red
token
that
I
tell
you
true
.
Let
him
stand
forth
,
I
say
;
"
and
he
shook
the
great
axe
till
it
flashed
in
the
sunlight
.
As
nobody
seemed
inclined
to
respond
to
this
heroic
version
of
"
Dilly
,
Dilly
,
come
and
be
killed
,
"
our
late
henchman
proceeded
with
his
address
.
"
I
am
indeed
the
king
,
and
should
ye
stand
by
my
side
in
the
battle
,
if
I
win
the
day
ye
shall
go
with
me
to
victory
and
honour
.
I
will
give
you
oxen
and
wives
,
and
ye
shall
take
place
of
all
the
regiments
;
and
if
ye
fall
,
I
will
fall
with
you
.
"
And
behold
,
I
give
you
this
promise
,
that
when
I
sit
upon
the
seat
of
my
fathers
,
bloodshed
shall
cease
in
the
land
.
No
longer
shall
ye
cry
for
justice
to
find
slaughter
,
no
longer
shall
the
witch-finder
hunt
you
out
so
that
ye
may
be
slain
without
a
cause
.
No
man
shall
die
save
he
who
offends
against
the
laws
.
The
'
eating
up
'
of
your
kraals
shall
cease
;
each
one
of
you
shall
sleep
secure
in
his
own
hut
and
fear
naught
,
and
justice
shall
walk
blindfold
throughout
the
land
.
Have
ye
chosen
,
chiefs
,
captains
,
soldiers
,
and
people
?
"
