The word was-- "Bid Goza say to Macumazahn that I was sorry not to see him to say good-bye, because that morning I slept heavily.

Bid him say that I am glad he has seen the king, since for this purpose I sought his presence in Zululand.

Bid him say that he is to fear nothing, and that if his heart is heavy about others whom he loves, he should make it light again, since the Spirits have them in their keeping as they have him, and never were they or he more safe than they are to-day." Now I looked at Goza and asked if I could see this messenger.

He replied, No, as he had already been despatched upon another errand.

Then I asked him if the messenger had said anything else.
