APPENDIX. 345 
The enemy attacked the Colonial force with much deter- 
mination, and were as bravely repulsed at every point. The 
most strenuous efforts were made to capture the cattle, but 
in spite of all their attempts the people of the Settlement 
succeeded ultimately in saving the whole of them, and in 
conveying them home at sunset; and in capturing five 
horses, one of which had been previously stolen from the 
Settlement, killing in the course of the day in the various 
engagements, sixty-seven Caffers, besides wounding many. 
The loss on our side was two killed, and one man and a 
woman severely wounded. 
Mr. Brownlee finding himself menaced by the barba- 
rians, who were committing the spoliation of the Mission 
property, was compelled at length to flee on foot, with 
his wife and children, towards the institution of Wesleyville. 
One night was spent in the bush; but on the following 
day he succeeded in reaching the institution in safety: 
Here all was in confusion. An order had been received 
by Pato from the Governor, to convey the Missionary and 
the traders who were there assembled on their way to- 
wards the Colony; and hasty preparations were making for 
their immediate departure. But few waggons could be had; 
and these were quite insufficient to remove the whole of the 
property, together with the families which required a convey- 
ance. Little or no assistance was to be procured from any 
one, as each was too intent on his own preservation to give 
any effectual help to his fellow-sufferers. 
Mr. Brownlee’s Station on the Buffalo River was 
plundered one day, on the next it was consumed by 
fire, and thus all his books and property were destroyed 
by these desolating barbarians. We regret also to state 
that the same result was apprehended at Wesleyville, 
where there was much valuable property belonging to
