The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 1

Submission of the King of Nakelo

Submission of the King of Nakelo.

Messengers were sent from Bau to inform the King of Nakelo that his son, who had been captured, and ten others from Nakelo, were alive, and that they should all be set at liberty. The Buretu and Nakelo districts were advised and encouraged to submit. They were glad promptly to avail themselves of the opportunity. The King of Nakelo, together with a Bau ambassador from Buretu, came to Bau, begging for peace, He rejoiced much to find his son and people spared, and given up to him. He and they lotued while at Bau. The Kambah tragedy subdued the rebellious at Rewa, and decided the wavering; and all in those parts were desirous of being reconciled to Bau. Offerings for peace were brought to Bau from several towns and districts to the southward. Ail were accepted, and the drums beat merrily at Bau, sounding most melodiously to us who had been so long accustomed to hear frequently the drums of death and revolt from those quarters that had now submitted.
