the emigrant farmers, in their several engage- 
ments with the Zulus, for they otherwise con-

children from massacre, and have uniformly

and prudence, as bravery. 
"A few days after this sad execution, the Zulu 
army, under Panda, encountered that command- 
ed by Dingaan, whereupon a desperate engage- 
ment ensued, in the course of which, one or two 
of Dingaan' s regiments, went over in a body to 
Panda : after which two of Dingaan 5 s best re- 
giments, who fought bravely for him, were to- 
tally destroyed, the battle ending in his total 
defeat and flight. The emigrant farmers not 
having been engaged in this action, followed up 
this success, (as soon as they heard of it,) with 
great vigour; they drove Dingaan over the 
Black Umvoloos, and from thence still further 
to the Banks of the Pongola ; where, deserted 
by almost all his followers, he endeavoured 
with about a hundred warriors, to find shelter 
amongst a small tribe, living near Delogoa 
Bay, named the " Asmasuree," but who, (it is 
supposed, for I believe there is no actually 
authentic account of his death,) murdered him, 
to ensure their own safety, from his constant 
and fearful forays upon them and the adjacent 
tribes.
