our reporter is careful to explain that they were not
there during an Irish row. The docks and ships
IMPRESSED them, " but they did not understand
much" The Geological Gardens were better ap-
preciated Lions and hyenas they had seen before
in the veldt and in the ytime but that men should
be able to keep them in houses and not be eaten up
at night was a marvel. They thought the Guards
fine troops and the band pretty, " but not noise
enough: still they wondered how so few men
could make SO much noise. EyeryW here it is mass,
number and magnitude that astonish the savage
mind How II IS all done they don't know and

forted. however by assurance from the King
that the Zulus drink nothing except their own
beer, which is harmless There have been stories
about quantities Of champagne and whiskey being
consumed N Melbury Road, to wash down the SIX
pounds Of beefsteak which compose the Kings
