APPENDIX. 293 
with treachery, and therefore if you intend to act so, I shall 
inform him that he must not come here.” I then called the 
messengers, who said that the Amaponda and Amatembu 
were determined to destroy Umyeki, and now that he had 
no friend, he wished me to take him under the protection 
of the Station. I then charged Umyeki with calling Ca- 
paai against Cokaz, in October last, which they denied, 
though there is no doubt on the minds of any who 
knew the case. The answer sent to U myeki was, that as 
to his dispute with Faku, the Captains on this side the 
Umtata could not interfere, as that would be bringing them- 
selves into a quarrel with Faku; and as to myself as a Mis- 
sionary, I could have nothing to do with disputes between 
Faku and Umyeki; and though it was true we sometimes 
spoke for those that were in trouble, yet we did not do it 
without any reference to their being innocent or guilty, 
and Umyeki must recollect he was stained with the blood 
of Cokaz’s people, who were killed by Capaai; at his 
request, therefore, I could not say anything, as I did not 
wish to have to do with a man of blood. I would therefore 
recommend Umyeki to settle his dispute with Faku, and 
thus sit still on his own place. I then requested the Cap- 
tains not to interfere in the dispute between Umyeki and 
Faku, to which they agreed. As Dapa and Cetani were 
absent, I sent to inform them what had been done, when 
Cetani said it was right, and he should act according to my 
advice. 
Jan. 2nd, 1834.—I heard that Faku’s army was out 
against Umyeki, but the Captains near the Station sat still. 
6th.—I heard from Mr. Satchell that Faku had re- 
turned, after taking some of Umyeki’s cattle; but as Um- 
yeki ran away, Faku did not pursue him. I also heard that 
Umyeki was returned to his home.
