ZULU WAR TACTICS.
Method of Attack with the Crescent
Formation.


Zulu military tactics are associated
with the name Of Iyaka. the ruthless
Zulu conqueror. who welded into the
, stock of the AmaZulu, the people of the
heavens, all The young men of the va
rious tribes he conquered, incorporat-
ing them into regiments and thus
, building up a powerful military ma
ton. Yet il was TO Dingisiwayo. the
wanderer that the inception was due.
J This man. the son of the chief of the
Umtetwa. was driven into exile in con-
sequence of an abortive plot TO seize
the reins of power.
During that exile he lived in Cape
Colony and saw the military methods
of the British. With instructive genius
he saw how the idea could be adapted
10 his own nation, and on his return
and accession to the chieftainship lie
divided his people into regiments, dis
tinguishing them by names and by
special color of shield for each regi-
ment though for time they retained
the umkomto, or throwing assagai, as
their chief weapon. He heard the
great use made by the British infantry
of their fayorite weapon, the bayOnet,
and so he replaced the umkomto by the
ixwa, or broad bladed stabbing ASA
gal.
The popularity of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name of the crescent
formation for attack, and il is note
worthy that broadly speaking. it was
the method employed by the Beers in
their invasion of Natal and adopted by
Lord Roberts in his advance through
Orange River Colony, and it was the
fear of its success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare it is the
head of the stag headed beetle Horrs

while the main body forms the head

turn no more" and death ut the hands
of their fellows was the fate of those
who returned While this force was
holding the enemy the horns carried
out their task if possible. and as soon
as the two horns had met in the rear
of the enemy the head or chest was
launched upon the position, and the
upshot was that the whole force of
the foe tasted the aSsagai, for in war
no quarter was given OF asked.-South

Nine men were killed and about for

Internal machine was the cause, al

The vessel. commanded by Captain
Nielsen, arrived at Liverpool from
Philadelphia, landed her passengers
and proceeded to Huskisson Dock to
unload. The stevedores were loosen

lent blast occurred. 1t blew off the
hatches, rent the decks and hurled
dead and wounded men in all direc-

The explosion, which was heard for
many blocks, was followed by fire. The
cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake

was blazing tiercely. Firemen and po-
lice hurried to the spot and the injured
were tdhtl W IL HciSHDOIiuS HOSlitdi.
The fire soon assumed alarming proper

Of the cargo. After two hours hard
lighting, however, the firemen obtained
tie mastery of the flames.
The report that the explosion was
caused by an internal machine arose
from the finding of a wooden box u

box, which was only partly shattered,

the International Navigation Company
say they believe the explosion was due
to ignition of gas given off by naphtha

to the vessel beyond the rents in the
deck, but inside the damage is exteD-
