at APPENDIX. 
The man had been seized at his own residence, and dragged 
to the great place, his wife never expecting to see him again; 
but on hearing that I had been to the great place, she came 
to me, and great was her joy to find her husband here. 
They both wept for joy. She inquired how he got away, 
when pointing to me he replied, “Had it not been for him 
I should not see the sun now;” and the wife informed him 
that immediately after he was taken away they seized all 
his cattle; and in a few days I learned that the Captain had 
taken possession of his corn-land: however, I prevailed 
upon him to give up the latter. In the afternoon I again 
went with the medicine, but was informed by the councillors 
that the Captain could not take it, im consequence of some 
individual being absent, which I knew was equivalent to a 
refusal to take the medicine. The following day I heard 
the Captain was dead. This Captain was the only one living 
near the Station that would not attend preaching. 
A short time after the above affair took place, the young 
Captain who had succeeded his father came to the Station 
on business; and when the man I had rescued saw him, 
he went into his house to prevent any angry feeling on the 
part of the Captain, which when he saw, addressing himself 
to me, he said, “ Why does Quobili go into his house when I 
come? ‘This is God’s place, and here we lay aside every 
thing ; he therefore should not run away, for on this place 
we can sit and talk together.” I then called the man, and 
they were together for some time; since which period I have 
often seen them conversing on the Station. 
I more than once offered the Captain to have an inves- 
tigation of this witchcraft affair, that the man may be 
punished if deserving it, but he declined it; and the last 
time I mentioned it, he said, “It is all over, and I never 
wish to have the subject introduced again.” |
