And in May 1824 Henry Fynn and his party entered the beautiful bay of the Rio de Natal which was teeming with wildlife - and during their first night ashore they were harassed by hyenas.
Fynn was impressed by the discipline of the Zulu regiments.
Fynn also tells of many deaths and bloodbaths during this emotionally charge period in which Shaka arranged for many enemies, real or imagined, to be killed, and a southern campaign against frontier tribes soon followed the mourning period.

 British Zulu Expedition
His pleading worked, and Fynn was provided with an escort and allowed to continue, along with his companions who re-materialized once the danger had passed.
In early August 1824, Fynn and Farewell plus a few attendants embarked on the second overland journey in hopes of meeting the King of the Zulus.
Still later the same month, Farewell returned to escort Fynn back to the port from Shaka's royal seat, and as highest ranking military officer, was rewarded by the Zulu king with 'chieftainship' of Port Natal-Durban and its environs.

England's foreign minister Henry Palmerston wanted to curtail Muhammad 'Ali's power lest the Ottoman empire turn to Russia for protection, and he got the young Sultan to agree to the Balta Liman treaty that banned monopolies in the Ottoman empire.
In 1826 Fynn and Farewell aided his Zulu army of 40,000 in a bloody battle against Ndwandwe that destroyed that tribe; the refugees with their chief Soshangane joined Mzilikazi, the Ndebele chief who had defected from Shaka five years before.
Fynn reported that thousands died from exhaustion or were killed for disobeying severe restrictions against planting crops, drinking milk, or having sexual intercourse.

 NORWEGIAN EMIGRATION - THE DEBORA EXPEDITION
This wooden three-master of 744 tons, built in New Brunswick in 1849, was not of course a Byrne ship but the replacement for the Pallas, the vessel chartered by Henry Boast for his Yorkshire party and condemned as unseaworthy on the eve of sailing.
This unsuspected setback threw a number of the poorer emigrants on Henry Boast's hands, since they had committed themselves by disposing of their homes etc. From April until July they waited in Hull until J. Rylands the shipowner supplied his new ship Haidee for the voyage to Natal.
A court case established the fact that Henry Boast, not Rylands, was responsible in law for these allowances and he used up most, if not all, of his own money in maintaining his fellow-emigrants until the second ship was ready.

In the 80s when Ackah Blay Miezah of blessed memory was steering the affairs of Eleven Wise,a.k.a ‘akaraka chii boys’,the club was a team to beat alongside Hasaacas who eventually won the WAFU Cup in 1982.

 Shaka - Unipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Nathaniel Isaacs published his Travels and Adventures in Eastern Africa in 1836, creating a picture of Shaka as a degenerate and pathological monster which survives in modified forms to this day.
Isaacs was abetted in this by Henry Francis Fynn, whose so-called Diary (actually a rewritten collage of various papers)was edited up by James Stuart only in 1950.
Their now discredited accounts may be balanced by the rich resource of oral histories collected around 1900 by (ironically) the same James Stuart, now published in 6 volumes as The James Stuart Archive.
