The brig ‘Flora’, now in this port, is we understand chartered to go to the Umzimvoobo, or “Gates of St.John”, to endeavour to open up that part of the country. We are glad that this undertaking has fallen into the hands of such an experienced and enterprising seaman as Captain DUTHIE, and we are assured that if an opening is there to be made it will now be effected. A few such points of entrance, as the Umzimvoobo, will effectually lay open the resources of Kafirland to the influences of commerce, and bring the country itself at length under the milder sway of civilization.

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE
Uitenhage, 3rd November 1846
To the Editor,
Sir, In consequence of a letter having been given to me yesterday to read, referring to the three Kafirs who killed poor PIKE, and who broke out of this gaol on Sunday last, which letter I believe is intended for you, and, as many points contained therein are incorrect, I now take it upon myself to give you the following facts as they took place. On Sunday morning at five minutes past six I was standing shaving in my cell, the door having just been opened, when I heard a great rattling of chains outside and ran to my door to see what it was, when, to my surprise, I saw the three Kafirs making off direct for the bush which joins the gaoler’s garden, through which they had to pass, and as I did not perceive anyone near that might catch them, I immediately ran after them, though alone, and overtook the last one just as he had got up on to the last step going into the garden – the steps were six in number. I immediately caught him by the foot, pulled him down into a small ditch which ran under the steps, when he tried to strike me with a stone which he held in his right hand. Upon seeing this I took the stone from him, when he threw off his blanket, which uncovered his left hand, in which he held a long knife. I then saw that I must either use rough means or let him go, and immediately struck him down with my fist. No sooner did he fall than I took him by his hands and pulled him back to the gaol, where I saw the turnkey standing, apparently quite stupefied from a blow he had received; I noticed much blood upon him at the time, but I said nothing to him. I then bundled the Kafir into the cell, and when the turnkey shut the door I went in pursuit of the other two, although I had no one to assist me, and overtook them at the upper end of the garden, about 126 yards from the gaol. One was over the hedge, and the other getting over, when I called to them to stop, which the one did, but not until he was safe over the hedge and a good, thick stick in his hand. Not thinking that it was his intention to strike me, I jumped on the hedge, when he made a heavy blow at me, which I caught with my left hand, and the moment he saw that the stick was fast he rushed at me with a long knife. I then threw myself off the hedge to get out of his reach, when he ran off after the other; I was, however, soon aver the hedge, and up to them. When they saw it was impossible to outrun me, they took stones and we had shie for shie, until a young man of the name of William HENRY came to my assistance with a gun. One then ran off, and I told the other to throw down the knife and give himself up, or we would shoot him. I told him this in Kafir. He said “No, am I not also a man”, immediately taking up stones to drive us back from him, at the same time walking steadily for the thick part of the bush. We repeated our demand in vain, and as he was near the bush and there was no time to be lost, I told young HENRY to shoot him in the leg. As he was taking aim, the Kafir threw at him, with the intention, I should say, of confusing him. The stone, however, missed him, and struck me on my left shoulder. The ball went through the thick fleshy part of the thigh. The Kafir then ran towards us, with the knife in his hand, but he soon fell to the ground (this was the man who shot poor PIKE). By this time the alarm was given and three other persons came to our assistance. We then made search for about two hours and a half for the third Kafir who had got into the thick bush, without being able to find him. Little hopes being entertained of finding him, the wounded man was taken back by some of the party, and at length when the vote was to return, I said “No”, as I had belonged to the Albany young men for many years I would not get one of them a bad name. I then took an old rusty musket, requesting them to remain where they were and keep a good look out, while I returned to trace the Kafir’s spoor from where he had got over the garden hedge; they did so, and I took up the trail to where he had entered the thicket, and after crawling on my hands and knees for some distance, I found him in a very thick part of the bush. I then took him and brought him out to where I got assistance, and he was conveyed to the gaol, where they are all once more. The wounded man is doing well.
Many persons in this village have blamed the turnkey for this; but I am sure the turnkey will be able to clear himself, in the inquiry which is about to be instituted on the subject, and prove that there has been no neglect on his part. Not many days back the Kafir who is now wounded said that they would kill the turnkey and myself, for he did not see why three Kafirs should be killed for only one Englishman, and that by killing us it would only make it man for man. I immediately told the turnkey and gaoler to put them on their guard.
I am, Sir,
Thomas BAILIE
[Transcriber’s note: James PIKE, nephew of the 1820 settler William PIKE, was killed at Botha’s Hill on 11th April 1846.Thomas BAILIE, along with his father John BAILIE, was arrested for murder following an argument with Field-cornet DU PLOOY and they were sentenced to death in Uitenhage on 30 March 1846. After many appeals for clemency to the Governor, the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with hard labour. In 1847 Sir Harry SMITH granted them a free pardon. See issue of 4 April 1846.]

DIED on the 23rd March, Mrs. Ann HOWARD, wife of the late Mr. Wm. HOWARD. Aged 70 years and 4 months.

It is our painful duty to have to record this week the death, by drowning, of Mr. Howard LLOYD, son of our Magistrate, who had gone in command of the Port Elizabeth Volunteers for the Frontier Service. It seems that on arriving at the banks of the Fish River, near the mouth, the boat which is in use there was not on this side, and that Mr. LLOYD, in a kind of infatuated eagerness to cross, had determined to swim the river on horseback, although running out very strong at the time with the receding tide. His brother, Mr. Lennox LLOYD, who had accompanied him, begged him not to attempt the enterprise, but he would not be dissuaded, and before his brother, who is a good swimmer, was able to strip, he had entered the river. He had not advanced far, however, when the horse either by his plunging or by the tossing of his head had thrust him from the saddle, and after little effort he sank never again to rise in life. Parties were employed the whole day on Sunday in search of the body, but without success. It is supposed that the strong current which was running at the time had carried it some considerable distance from the place where the accident occurred.
To his intimate friends, Mr. Howard LLOYD greatly commended himself by many excellences of disposition and character; and by those who did not enjoy his intimacy, he was always admired for his exemplary correctness of conduct. His sudden death has therefore caused a great sensation in the place. With his bereaved parents and family the whole community deeply sympathise.
