We could not bury him that night. It was eiieroe struggle all the time to shorten sail ; tor nearly five hours we were all on the {ore- ard, trying to inrl the ioreseil, which was lown to pieces in the end. At last morning broke on the mad, raging sea. The sailmaker sewed a bag oi canvas round the corpse ; we plsoed two ten-pound shot aflile lest; the seas were breaking too heavily on the main- deck. so we carried him tenderly up on the poop.

Near her stern all hands were grouped, the wind blowing the old captain's at“: hair wildly about. the rain and hail beat 3 on our bared heads and pattering on the deck like a thousand fist ; the solemn iaees stern and sad; and on the wheel-grating lay all that was leit oi the man we loved. The captain read a law words till something seemed toehoke him: he pointed over the stern and turned away. A dull splash was heard. Like men in a dream we gazed at the spot as a sea broke over it.

I asked. “ Are you ‘hurt?” ‘ With his lips at my car. he answered hoarse- ly: " He's on board again. Jack! " “ He! .Who 2 ” I cried wildly. Ho did-'not answer. but pointed to the deck.

I elimbed up the ioretcpgallant braoes clear 0! it with a laugh at King's expense: but it died on my lips as a cry came home to my earsâ€"the cry of some one in deadly terror.

The same moment a flash of lightning showed me King still on board, clinging to the lee main- rigglng, his face white and distorted with some awful fear. 0n flew the vessel, till many e mile lay between us and that and spot on the lonely deep.

At about two balls (one o‘clock) in the middle weteh, King (my meesmate) and myself were stnnding on the poop. in the lee ol the missen msst, watching the eons as they broke on the main deck, trying to distinguish objects by the gerish light of the white loam.

Another account says that Oetywayo is mobilizing his regiments at the Head Kraalâ€"no ornaments to be wornâ€" and that war is certain. However, whatever may be the result. there is no room for doubt that an advance oi the British iorcea will be made into Zululand. and that at no distant date. The indiscriminate shedding of blood in that benighted country continues. as we hear that at a recent meeting held at the King's Kraal. a resolution was come to for the entire destruction of three lrraals at people. The inmates were shot. only one oi the owners escaping to tell the horrible tale. The only plea oflered for this outrage is that some oi the Chief Mavumeagwana'e daugh- ters had been " bewitehed.” The slaughter is said to have been wholesale. as is the usual Zuigcustom.

Natives continue to arrive in small batches tor the Native Oon- tingent. Some oi them have made ieariul noiees as they made their entry, but we see that an order has been issued by the military authorities. that officers and others in charge oi parties at natives will cause their men to march through the streets in an orderly manner, without singing or noise.

It will be a war ol strategy, of patrols and marches and counter-marches. of attempts to out- manwuvre one another, and to make the most of the natural advantages of the country. The Britieh, being the invading or attacking force. will have everything to contend against. The Zulue are brave as well as sagacioue, and. although they are said to be divided amongst themselves. we think it is too much to expect that these divisions will show them- selves in our lavor at once. It is more probable that those who are dieafleoted towards Oetywayo will wait until! they see how the iortune of war is likely to go. and it they see it declaring against him. that then they will throw in their weight with the winning side.
