July.] HANOBEY AND HIS FAMILY. 
127 
Besides other presents I gave a snufF-box, with 
snufF in it, to the old captain of the kraal. He 
could not open it, but gave it to Munameets to 
show him the way, who opened it before him, put 
the snuff it contained into his own hand, snuffed 
up the whole of it, and returned the empty box 
to the chief, who took no notice of the trick, 
which was not done in joke, but with the utmost 
gravity. 
Both Corannas and Matslaroos attended wor- 
ship, after which the aged chief, with many of 
his people, remained behind to give us the infor- 
mation we were desirous of obtaining, and which 
we received from his own lips. 
He was about seventy years of age, having a 
dirty blue and white striped handkerchief tied 
about his head, and was clothed in tattered skins 
of a dark red hue. His name was Hanobey, and 
that of his wife Chawtoy. 
The names of his sons killed on a com- 
mando against the Barrolongs, or Mashows, &c. 
were : — 
Tabooshey, Mateebe, Bahheleeley, Matampee, 
Sebooshey, Chumalechala, Quesah, and Koro. 
His remaining sons, Haatshahha, who, being 
the eldest son alive, succeeds him as chief ; 
Mootseeoky, [or. There is the Town.]
