To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Did you ever come into contact with any of the chiefs? — Never; I am not acquainted with the Kafir lan- guage. 2437. Can you at all give the Committee any opinion as to whether, if treaties were made with the chiefs, they would be likely to adhere to them, or have they the means of enforcing the obligation of treaties upon their people? — None whatever. 2438. You would place no reliance upon treaties made with the chiefs ? — Not the slightest. 2439. ^ou ^^^^^ i^ ex])edient to trust alone to the... military defence of the frontier, rather than to any treaties?; — Cer- tainly. 2440. Can you give the Committee any information as to the force the Kafirs could, at any time, bring into the field ?— Not with any degi*ee of accuracy. I should think that, during the last war, they must have had from 20,000 to 30,000 fight- ing men at different times. 2441. How do they support their force when in the field ? — Principally by the cattle they capture ; they carry, perhaps, a very little grain with them, tied to their belts.
