The result is that, though the authorities here have done all they could to keep the natives of the country out »f it, . have been compelled to call our people out. The 'fiery cross' has gone through the land; the Amambwa and Awemba have been told to come to the aid of the English, and they are flocking in, delighted to get the chance to burn and kill.

This is the method he and his people were going to adopt; kill all males above puberty, take the women, cut oil' noses, lips or ear.-, and use them (the women) as they like, and kill all the children. Now Kyakenta, this chief, is a very decent man, but this is what war raises in him and his people.
