but could not prevail. Lately there has been some misun- 
derstanding between him and Faku; and fearing an attack 
from Faku, he sent to the Station to ask to come on this 
side the Umtata River, and unite with the Captains round 
Morley. This has occasioned me much trouble, as you will

Capaai is a marauding Chief, as his father was before

was over, he would be making attacks upon them. They 
then requested me to call Umyeki near the Station, but not 
afford him any protection, and then they would all join
