UMBEZI AND THE BLOOD ROYAL.
After this I think that some of the Usutu came up, for it seemed to me that I heard Saduko say: "Touch not Macumazahn or his servant.

They are my prisoners.

He who harms them dies, with all his House." So they put me, fainting, on my horse, and Scowl they carried away upon a shield.

Indeed, neither then nor afterwards did he remember anything of the death of Umbelazi, nor did I ever tell him that tale.

Like many others, he thought that the Prince had been drowned in trying to swim the Tugela.
"Are they going to kill us ?" I asked of him, since, from the triumphant shouting without, I knew that we must be in the midst of the victorious Usutu.
"I don't know, Baas," he answered.
