Turning
to
him
with
one
of
those
swift
and
graceful
motions
that
in
her
always
reminded
me
of
the
flight
of
a
wild
bird
,
Foulata
answered
softly
,
glancing
at
him
with
her
large
brown
eyes
--
"
Nay
,
my
lord
;
my
lord
forgets
!
Did
he
not
save
my
life
,
and
am
I
not
my
lord
's
handmaiden
?
"
It
will
be
observed
that
the
young
lady
appeared
entirely
to
have
forgotten
the
share
which
Sir
Henry
and
myself
had
taken
in
her
preservation
from
Twala
's
clutches
.
But
that
is
the
way
of
women
!
I
remember
my
dear
wife
was
just
the
same
.
Well
,
I
retired
from
that
little
interview
sad
at
heart
.
I
did
not
like
Miss
Foulata
's
soft
glances
,
for
I
knew
the
fatal
amorous
propensities
of
sailors
in
general
,
and
of
Good
in
particular
.
There
are
two
things
in
the
world
,
as
I
have
found
out
,
which
can
not
be
prevented
:
you
can
not
keep
a
Zulu
from
fighting
,
or
a
sailor
from
falling
in
love
upon
the
slightest
provocation
!
It
was
a
few
days
after
this
last
occurrence
that
Ignosi
held
his
great
"
indaba
,
"
or
council
,
and
was
formally
recognised
as
king
by
the
"
indunas
,
"
or
head
men
,
of
Kukuanaland
.
The
spectacle
was
a
most
imposing
one
,
including
as
it
did
a
grand
review
of
troops
.
On
this
day
the
remaining
fragments
of
the
Greys
were
formally
paraded
,
and
in
the
face
of
the
army
thanked
for
their
splendid
conduct
in
the
battle
.
To
each
man
the
king
made
a
large
present
of
cattle
,
promoting
them
one
and
all
to
the
rank
of
officers
in
the
new
corps
of
Greys
which
was
in
process
of
formation
.
An
order
was
also
promulgated
throughout
the
length
and
breadth
of
Kukuanaland
that
,
whilst
we
honoured
the
country
by
our
presence
,
we
three
were
to
be
greeted
with
the
royal
salute
,
and
to
be
treated
with
the
same
ceremony
and
respect
that
was
by
custom
accorded
to
the
king
.
Also
the
power
of
life
and
death
was
publicly
conferred
upon
us
.
Ignosi
,
too
,
in
the
presence
of
his
people
,
reaffirmed
the
promises
which
he
had
made
,
to
the
effect
that
no
man
's
blood
should
be
shed
without
trial
,
and
that
witch-hunting
should
cease
in
the
land
.
When
the
ceremony
was
over
we
waited
upon
Ignosi
,
and
informed
him
that
we
were
now
anxious
to
investigate
the
mystery
of
the
mines
to
which
Solomon
's
Road
ran
,
asking
him
if
he
had
discovered
anything
about
them
.
"
My
friends
,
"
he
answered
,
"
I
have
discovered
this
.
It
is
there
that
the
three
great
figures
sit
,
who
here
are
called
the
'
Silent
Ones
,
'
and
to
whom
Twala
would
have
offered
the
girl
Foulata
as
a
sacrifice
.
It
is
there
,
too
,
in
a
great
cave
deep
in
the
mountain
,
that
the
kings
of
the
land
are
buried
;
there
ye
shall
find
Twala
's
body
,
sitting
with
those
who
went
before
him
.
There
,
also
,
is
a
deep
pit
,
which
,
at
some
time
,
long-dead
men
dug
out
,
mayhap
for
the
stones
ye
speak
of
,
such
as
I
have
heard
men
in
Natal
tell
of
at
Kimberley
.
There
,
too
,
in
the
Place
of
Death
is
a
secret
chamber
,
known
to
none
but
the
king
and
Gagool
.
But
Twala
,
who
knew
it
,
is
dead
,
and
I
know
it
not
,
nor
know
I
what
is
in
it
.
Yet
there
is
a
legend
in
the
land
that
once
,
many
generations
gone
,
a
white
man
crossed
the
mountains
,
and
was
led
by
a
woman
to
the
secret
chamber
and
shown
the
wealth
hidden
in
it
.
But
before
he
could
take
it
she
betrayed
him
,
and
he
was
driven
by
the
king
of
that
day
back
to
the
mountains
,
and
since
then
no
man
has
entered
the
place
.
"
"
The
story
is
surely
true
,
Ignosi
,
for
on
the
mountains
we
found
the
white
man
,
"
I
said
.
