Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the CoIors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1873 $1,000 of the Zulus attacked
and killed a regiment OF British SOL
diers, and a most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British sol
diers to save the two flags. or colOrs,
belonging to the regiment.
When 1t was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
Of keeping them at bay the colonel OF
the British regiment called to young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said. "You will take
charge Of the colors. Melvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment. Then, with another officer and
a soldier, all mounted on horses, he
suddenly dashed away with his pre-
ciouS burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus. however. and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy.
Some time afterward one of the flags
was found near a rocky stream, where
the heroes had fought and died. and
it was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
it the queen placed wreath of i'm
mortelles on the staff which held the

An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast of Africa.
West Africa is known to al naviga-
tors for its few harbors and it's heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
like a battle. defying the white man
who would approach it's shores. The
author Of 1.-The Jungle Folk of Africa"
Mr.. r. H. NIilligan. tells of a success
full, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at a point where
the surf did not seem to be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and in a moment they were
In the breakers, riding on the top of
one Of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate Of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was in the bow Of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force of a railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled 1t upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance.
where they sprawled upon the sand.
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened. ex-
claimed:
"Oh, captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me-"
