what they wanted, the English would 20
away. This was a fatal mistake He
might most easily have got all he wanted.
lie would only have had to send to Sir
Robert Napier, and offer to give up all the
prisoners unharmed IL Magdala were not
attacked, threatening at the same time to
kill them all at once, il bis offer were re-
fused, and Sir 2 ebert Napier must have &C
cepted the proposal. He never could have
risked the lives Of the captives merely for
the sake of having the glory Of capturing an
Abyssinian stronghold. But Theodore, be-
rug on this point q most misguided man,
nrst sent the prisoners back, and then
asked to be allowed to hold Magdala and re-
main as he was. Having got the csptives
safe, Sir Robert was free to punish the
