George Gait was a fine specimen of Anglo-Saxon manhood; a plucky yoimg fellow, a good shbt, a good friend, what would be called " a good all arotmd sport ; " and had a widowed mother and sister dependent upon him. He was more than usually popular with the natives among whom he lived. Yet on the above date as he sat in front of his grass hut a yoimg native, named Lutakara, came up and, without warning, stabbed him, running a spear into his limgs near his heart. Gait was alone at the time and acc...ording to the report of his own native servants ran to the cook's hut and, gasping out that he had been killed, fell to the grotmd, the blood gushing from his mouth and from the wotuid. He died in a few minutes, far from his kind, in an African forest with only African savages about him. The murderer was in his turn killed almost immediately by two other natives, Gabrieli and Isaka, and therein lies the mystery of the affair, for evidence was brought out at the trial which 178 THE BAGANDA proved that the slayers of Lutakara had them- selves incited him to the deed.
