Excerpt from The Matabele Rebellion, 1896: With the Belingwe Field Force Secondly; to Captain Harman Hopper and the twenty brave fellows who volun teered to follow him from Victoria to march to our assistance, strengthening us by their numbers, as well as bringing'with them a much-wanted supply of ammunition and a Maxim gun. Little has been said or heard of Captain Hopper up to the present, but I feel certain that of those who are indebted to him and his companions, the men of Belingwe will always be glad to recall his name and those of the men who followed him. I am also sure that none of the garrison will ever forget the pang of pleasure and relief that shot through their breasts when Hopper's advance-guard appeared on the crown of the ridge, about a mile east of the Belingwe fort.

Excerpt from The Outspan: Tales of South Africa The charm Of the life is indescribable, and none who have tasted it ever weary Of it, ever forget it, or cease to feel the longing to return when once they have quitted it. It was in '91, the year after the pioneers cut their way through the Bush, with Selous to guide them, and occupied Mashonaland. We followed their trail and lived again their anxious nights and days, when they, a small handful in a dense Bush, at the mercy Of the Matabele thousands, did not know at what hour they would be pounced on and massacred.

Excerpt from Among the Wild Ngoni: Being Some Chapters in the History of the Livingstonia Mission in British Central Africa N order to understand the present character Of the N goni it is necessary to go back to the dawn Of the present century and to South Africa, the cradle Of these people. The mighty movements Of barbarous fanatics in recent times, such as those in the Soudan and elsewhere, sink into insignificance when compared with those that give rise to the presence Of the N goni in British Central Africa and in German East Africa, not to speak Of the Matabele who gave so much trouble to the British, or the other branches Of the same race which had to be proceeded against by Portuguese arms.

Excerpt from South Africa of to-Day Transvaal, the rise of the Chartered Company, and the Matabele campaign. But on all essential points in the political situation, and even the geography, I was as ignorant as South Africans would be of the Indian frontier. I had only this advantage, that for the last ten years almost my sole occupation in life had been travelling in little known countries and reporting what I saw and heard there. SO as soon as I had put the last remaining touches on my book of travels then about to be published, I eagerly read up the works on South African history and travel which I had brought on board for the purpose of forming in my mind a groundwork on which to build. On my arrival in Cape Town, in the beginning of December, I found the Situation in the Transvaal was fast reaching a crisis. Mr. Lionel Phillips, the President of the Chamber of Mines at Johannes burg, had but recently made a speech in which he detailed the disabilities under which the huge gold mining industry laboured, and hinted in strong terms that, were concessions of some sort not granted by the Boer Government, the Uitlanders (or foreign residents) might be compelled to resort to force to gain their ends and everywhere people were saying that trouble was pending.
