Well, I retired from that little interview sad at heart.

I did not like Miss Foulata's soft glances, for I knew the fatal amorous propensities of sailors in general, and of Good in particular.
There are two things in the world, as I have found out, which cannot be prevented: you cannot keep a Zulu from fighting, or a sailor from falling in love upon the slightest provocation! It was a few days after this last occurrence that Ignosi held his great "indaba," or council, and was formally recognised as king by the "indunas," or head men, of Kukuanaland.

The spectacle was a most imposing one, including as it did a grand review of troops.

On this day the remaining fragments of the Greys were formally paraded, and in the face of the army thanked for their splendid conduct in the battle.

To each man the king made a large present of cattle, promoting them one and all to the rank of officers in the new corps of Greys which was in process of formation.
