A ROHL WOMAN CARRYING HER I N E A N T, 
This station has now been established three years^ during tHe 
first of which nightly harassings were made on the Arabs. At 
lengthy wearying for rest_, they turned out in force on the neighbour- 
ing villages, threatening destruction, when the chiefs and elders 
came to an understanding, and each community slaughtered a 
bullock j the blood was sprinkled on all parties, and peace declared. 
It has not been yet openly violated ; but if a stray cow or bullock 
is fallen in with, it no more finds its way to the kraal of the station.
