		Thus, when East Coast fever threatened the district in 1914, there were many tribesmen understandably confused by the contradictory attitudes shown by officialdom a decade earlier.
		It is apparent from the foregoing that the seeds of a very serious insurrection were germinating in East Griqualand and the Transkei.
		This story appears to illustrate the different attitudes of the native people of the Transkei and East Griqualand; on the one hand there were tribesmen prepared to murder the trader and loot his shop, and on the other there were those, friendly with him, who warned him of the intentions of their fellow tribesmen.
