356 APPENDIX. 



joyed more outward peace than they ; we never came into 

 unpleasant collision with the enraged Caffers, as some of 

 our friends did ; we met with no interruption in our meet- 

 ings morning and evening for worship with the people : this 

 peace we, under God, owed in some measure to the same 

 individual who acted so praiseworthy a part in reference 

 to the trader. 



" On one occasion she succeeded in defeating a powerful 

 combination which had been formed against us. She ap- 

 pears to have been unable by arguments to effect her ex- 

 cellent purpose, and we are told when these failed she had 

 recourse to tears. Had she not after all been heard in our 

 behalf, she told those who wished to plunder, if not to kill 

 us also, that she would have no more to do with people that 

 would kill their best friends, and that she would retire to her 

 father, a Tambookie Chief. I hope that if this individual 

 can be found, she will be separated from those who have 

 arrayed themselves against us, and be treated as a friend." 



Intelligence has been received, up to 23rd of May, from 

 the Cape of Good Hope, by which it appears that the Chief 

 Hintza pertinaciously refused to comply with the demands 

 of the Governor, until hostilities had actually commenced, 

 and a severe chastisement inflicted on his people ; when, 

 finding it impossible to stand against the British troops, he 

 surrendered himself, with fifty of his principal men, agree- 

 ing, it is stated, to deliver up the persons concerned in the 

 massacre of the English traders, with fifty thousand head 

 of horned cattle, and one thousand horses, and to comply 

 with such other terms as the Governor in justice thought 

 fit to impose. The Caffer war may therefore now be con- 

 sidered as happily terminated, the troops being on their 

 march back to the Colony.
