LIFE OF PELANGYE. 183 
on pack-oxen, for a considerable time ; the 
other man was killed, but by his fleetness of foot 
he escaped. 
He went out once with a small party on a 
marauding expedition ; they came to a cattle- 
place, only guarded by three men, whom they 
killed and carried away the oxen, &c. 
A captain, on another occasion, sent him to 
steal cattle from Makabba. Arriving at one of 
his cattle-places, only guarded by a single man, 
he easily killed him and seized the prey. 
A lion having attacked his cattle while they 
were feeding, the frightened animals fled into 
the Mashow country. His father and he traced 
them to a cattle-kraal guarded by two Mashows, 
who would not give them up, saying that such 
were the orders of their King ; on which Pelangye 
killed one of the men and his father the other, 
and they brought back their cattle. 
At another time, some of Sibinell's people 
came to plunder his place ; they killed his wife, 
he said, but she came to life again. Determined 
to be revenged upon them, he attacked and 
killed several men, and cut up some of their 
women in the most barbarous manner.
