Hintza’s country. Umkondo, one of Hintza’s captains on 
the sea-coast, called his people together that his doctor 
might strengthen them for the war, so that I have reason to 
think that Hintza’s tribe will openly join the enemy. Part 
of the Colonial cattle entered Hintza’s country along the 
sea-coast, and are deposited in the broken country near the 
mouth of the rivers from the Kei to the Umtata: some 
cattle have entered in the centre of the tribe, and have 
passed by the Station, and are now in the Jaka River. 
The people of Magwa have a great quantity of cattle near 
the Colosa River: some have entered near the Tsoma River, 
which runs into the Kei, but where they have gone we

reported there that Hintza is depositing the cattle in the 
mountains north of the Amena. The country north of the 
Amena is rough beyond anything I have seen in Africa;

to the Dutch farmers, who have resided there. It isa 
matter of great regret that so many of the fine Colonial 
cattle should be destroyed, as they are doubtless being 
slaughtered daily. In all the parts of the Kei River the 
Colonial cattle are numerous, principally draught oxen. 
« On the 18th of March, the inhabitants residing on the 
Station at Clarkesbury received the alarming intelligence 
that the Ficani were descending from the mountains a 
short distance in the rear, and attacking the tribes under 
the Chiefs Tooboo and Deko. As soon as this was com 
municated to the Huropeans on the spot, several traders 
proceeded. to the scene of action for the purpose of assisting 
the Tambookies in repelling the enemy. It appears, how-
