Palander robbed by the Chacma.
"But perhaps he has been robbed," said the Colonel at last.
"What matters?" cried Strux, beside himself; "what business had he so far away from us, after our continual warning?"
"True," replied Sir John, "but we ought to know whether he has lost the registers or been robbed of them. Has any one robbed you, Palander?" continued he, turning to the poor man, who had sunk down with fatigue.
Palander made a sign of affirmation.
"Who?" continued Sir John. "Natives? Makololos?"
Palander shook his head.
