ABSTRACT
When matters had quieted down again, and I had time to review the situation, I took the first opportunity of sending messengers through to
the Government, with a full report of the recent occurrences ; while I also communicated with the relatives of the murdered Goanese, two brothers who, I heard, were living at Nairobi, sending through to them the whole of the stolen property which I had recovered. I found out later that, through some misunderstanding or other, the heads of the murdered men-which had been found after the fighting was over-had likewise been sent in to Nairobi; which, while serving as proof to the officials that the reports I had been sending in from time to time as to the character of the natives were not without foundation, was a most regrettable occurrence, and must, I fear, have given much pain to the relatives.
