GLIMPSE AT NATIVE MIND.
“I have seen an interesting diary kepi by a chaplain who travelled from South Africa to France with a shipload of natives —one of the first contingents of the new labourarmy," says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. “Most of the black men bad neverseen the sea before, and the experience of weeks on the water was full of marvels ami (errors. After a week of it they are asking, ‘When does this wagon outspan ? ’ And there were murmurs that ‘the white man has lost his way.’ They bore tlre cold and rough weather with cheerful fortitude, and when they were nearing England and the sun came out for a time the natives could not understand ‘why the sunshine had no warmth in it.”
