to the industrious thousands who had
created IL.
But three years later Lord Napier,
then governor of the Cape Colony. Is
sued u proclamation denying the right
of the Beers TO form an independent
colony anywhere in Africa. The Beers
paid very little attention to this pro-
nunciamcnto, and nothing would have
come of Il had not the agents OF the
various chartered companies in London
discovered rich gold and diamond de-
posits in Natal. In isi2 British troops
were sent To invade the Boer strong
holds and Natal became British col
ony. The Boers then began their sec
ond trek" or move, and crossed the
Klipp river, fighting the Xulus all the
way, with the intention of occupying
the fertile tract lying between the
Klpp and Buffalo rivers. When the
British government became aware of
this intention, 1t proclaimed the Rutfa-
10 river us the northern boundary Of
Natal.
For the third time the Beers moved
this time into the country bounded on
the east by the Drakcnsbcrg, on the
north by the Naal, on the south by the
Orage and on the west by the Nsal-

and established the Orange Free State.
England, its eyes ever on the main
chance-annexed the Orange Free State
In ls4s, and the patient Beers began
their fourth move-across the Naal
river, northward into what Is now
known as the Transyaal.
The patience Of the people was thor
oughly exhausted; and on June II, lsis,
the burghers stopped at Bloemfontein,
the capital OF the Orange Free state,
and routed the British regulars. On
August 20, of the same year, the Hoers
were defeated by their enemies at
Boomplats, but only after stubborn
fight. The exodus TO the Transvaal
continued, but 10000 Beers remained
In the Orange Free State TO harass the
British soldiers and miners.
In 1850 the Kaiiir war broke out. The
English forces were too weak 10 cope
with this rebellion, and In order to pla-
cate the Boers. who were inclined Ia
side with the natives, the British gov
crnment acknowledged the independ-
ence of the Orange Free State. But
this did not help the settlers in the
Transvaal whose political organization
was recognized only after severe strug-
giles.

Beers have never done anything toward
the development Of the mineral re-

raising Of cattle to digging for pre-

rican republic drilled every citizen In

TEN OF government which virtually dis
franchises all foreigners, or uitlanders.
In 1875 the Beers passed law, or rath-
cr rcaffirmed an old law, to the effect
that the people will admit Of no equal
ity Of persons OF color with the white
inhabitants, either In state or church.
| In the same year war with rebcilious
natives had cmptied the Bocr treasury:
and England felt called upon to inter-
,ene "in the name OF humanity" and
Sir Theophilus Shcpstone on April ~,
1877, annexed the Transvnal. More than
three years nftcrward, the impov-
erisbed Beers began an active war for
independence. They had chosen new
provisional government, with Paul Kru-
ger, NJ. w. Prctorius and l.. j. Joubcrt
at its head. Sir g. Pomeroy Collcy, lieu
tenant governor of Natal, refused recog'
milton to the Kruger administration
and led a punitive expedition against
the Beers. In January, 1881, his troops
came to Iaing's Neck, where they met

The Imray chart Of the western Pa
cific was still upon the table in our
quarters, and Halstead took from the
locker another, on a larger scale, OF
the archipelago itself, showing the ex-
act shape and bearing Of each island.
From the absorbed way In which the
padre bent over them and listened to
the captains remarks, II was easy
to see that his education had been II
broad one, conpprehending readily. as
he did, marks and measurements that
would have puzzled most landsmen.
Halstead had carefully erased our pen
cilings from the larger chart, leaving
only the course as actually sailed up
to noon OF that day; and at Sebastt-
amos request he drew a line to indi-
cate the direction In which we were
then sailing-east, half north-in or
