might be trapped but he took little
notice OF these old campaigners. FL
nally on the Shangani river about 80
miles northwest OF our first battle
field we ran into the fresh track of the
kings two remaining wagons. As it
very tired, Major Wilson and fifteen
men were detailed to reconnoitre
ahead. Night overlook them just as
they came in sight of the enemy camp
fires. Lobengula with several thou
sand warriors was here in waiting and
had gwen orders for an attack on the
column at daylight, but did not dream
that fifteen men would in the darkness
penetrate his forest and at his very
skerun (hut) demand his surrender
So neatly had the advance been made
that he knew nothing of it and was
very badly scared. but the warriors
rushing out and shouting to others
soon aroused such a mass that re-
treat was ordered. This with much
difficulty was accomplished and the
men hid away in the darkness. Maj.
Wilson then sent Capt. Napier back
to Major Forbs with the order that
the king had been found and for the
column to close up with the machine
guns at once. 1t was now pitch dark
and raining and the only man who
nrnlI fall<.u he traI N Na.laa
scout, who succeeded by feeling the
shoe mark of the horses with his hand.
He was sent with Capt. Napier to
guide the column back. Forbs sent
twenty picked men only. They joined
Wilson at day break. 1t meant twenty
more to die, that was all. Maj. Will
son gathered his men around him,
when they saw that the largest mass
of men was between them and the
column and that they were entirely
surrounded. He then proposed an
attack on the king. which was duly
carried ont. The idea was to draw
the enemy to the kings aid and then
cut their way through by a sudden re-
treat, which seemed the only chance.
Major Wilson fought them hard but
was driven back, taking shelter behind
some huge ant heaps. They made one
more stand and SO deadly was the
fire that one part of their anticipa-
tions were realized, the king did send
for the other regiments. Then came
the retreat which was planned but
it was necessarily slow as they had
lost so many of their horses. Two
| Yankee scouts and one Colonial were
sent for aid to the main column.
These were well up in bush work, f.
X. Burnham having served as scout in
several Indian wars in America and
his knowledge of fighting savages
proved to be of great use to himself
and also to the company They sue
ceeded in reaching the main column by
swimming the Shangani river and cut
ting their~way through the enemy Is
lines, but all to no purpose as before
aid could reach the worn out men un-
der Wilson they were entirely sur
rounded and killed to a man.
The account given by the natives
now surrendered state that they
killed $50 warriors before they got
them. They say that they repulsed
the first impies Of the king and while
they were waiting for the other impies
under Chief Gambo that the white
men gathered their horses together
and pulled the dead ones in a circle
and then tied up the wounds on each
other. and some were already dead,
The white induna Major Wilson, with
the big hat, took it of and all the
others did the same and then they

I TOLD YOU so

A fierce blizzard, originating in Texas
, and travelling in northeasterly direction,
accompanied by norlheasterly gale vary.
ng in force from :orty to eighty miles an
< CUR, has swept the whole country east of
the Rocky Mountains and covered COOL
part of it with heavy blanket OF snow
Ofcourse this has delayed railroad train,
blockaded streets, Frustrated telegraphic
wires and done large amount of damage
to shipping at sea, and 10 insecure buildings
and their appurtenances ashore. The story
of suffering and possible loss of life has not
yet reached us, because all OF the particulars
are not yet known. But gale that blows
women across the streets of Chicago, frac
turing ribs by collision with fire hydrants
and. awning posts, may be depended on To
have wide swath Of wreck and ruin.
There is compensatory side TO the story
OF the far .reaching blizzard. The extensive
snow fall will prove beneficial to the winter
wheat sections. At least this is what the
farmers usually expect from an extensive
now fall at this season. 1t would have
cen better for our farmers if we could have
I'd more of il in this section.
The first blast of real winter, following as
h did so soon after Candlemas Day. will in
crease the reputation of the ground hog a.
b weather prophet. IL the alternating lit
tie animal possessed a little of human vanity
he might be expected to come out OF his
bnr-ow on the next fine day just to enj "
the pleasure of chattering in the choicest
ground hog language, 81 told you So"

Capt. Campbell was showing callers
over the Ke Au Hou all of his spare
time yesterday.
W. B. Godfrey, who brought down
the Ke Au Hou, is native of Nova
Scotia, where he was born in the year
1888. His father was a ship carpenter,
and while the subject of this sketch
was yet an infant, the family removed
to Rockland, Maine. From this port,
at the age of eight years, he made his
first trip to sea with his father on a
fishing cruise. Here, also, he had the
advantage of what educational facili-
ties the town afforded. At sixteen he
first began to follow the sea, shipping
on board a cOasting vessel engaged in
freighting between Rockland and
other Atlantic ports. The ensuing
ten years found him in the same occu-
patton, on several vessels plying be-
tween different Atlantic ports OF the
United States, Mexico and the West
Indian Islands. In 1854, while the
war of the rebellion was at its height,
Captain Godfrey became master OF
the schooner Chief, which was also
engaged in coasting, but which was
in the following year mustered into
the service of the Government, and
engaged in carrying supplies for the
quartermaster's department. In 1867
the Chief, under Captain Godfrey, was
wrecked on Brazos Bar, Gulf of Mex
leo. After this stroke of bad fortune,
Capt. Godfrey returned to New York
city and shipped "a first mate on the
schooner Fanny Gilmore, for San
Francisco, where he arrived via Straits
of Magellan in 1868. The Fanny Gil
more became a Hawaiian coaster, its
name having been changed 10 kulu-
mana. For about eighteen months
Captain Godfrey was engaged IN the
lime carrying trade between San
Francisco and Santa Cruz, Cal, after
which he entered the service Of a.

great fortune for bis new steamship
enterprise, he decided 10 accept he
ran the James Mckee for about year.
after which, the company appreelatlng
his ability, promoted him TO the super
intendeDcy of the docks aud the man

cepting the clerical and business de
partmeDts. BY this time the company
had also built the &. X. Bishop, aud
the following year the IOlani was adj

paDy was incorporated, and Captain
Godfrey was elected vice president. IN
March, 1853, upon the death Of 4. X.
Foster, president Of the company,
Capt. Godfrey was made president,
which office he has since retained.
