Landing of Dinizulu, the exiled Zulu Prince, at St. Helena, 1890. 'On Feb. 22 the island of St. Helena, famous as the place of Napoleon Buonaparte's captivity...received three other political captives of the British Empire. These were Prince Dinizulu, a youth of twenty-two, son of the late King Cetewayo, whose war of 1879 with the forces of Great Britain, the disasters of Isandhiwana and Rorke's Drift...and the decisive battle of Ulundi, are not yet forgotten; and two other Zulu Chiefs, Undabuko and Tshingana, uncles of the young Prince...the uncles [had] formed a party to raise him to the throne of the former kingdom...Dinizulu and his uncles, who had surrendered after their defeat, were put on trial for rebellion and treason...[and] they were sentenced to transportation - Dinizulu for ten years, Tshingana for twelve years, and Undabuko, a full brother of Cetewayo, for fifteen years. Miss Colenso, daughter of the late Bishop of Natal, has written an able article in the Universal Review, to show that these Zulu chiefs have been very unjustly treated. We cannot enter into the discussion, but hope they will be comfortable at St. Helena. A correspondent there, Mr. B. Grant, has obliged us with a photograph of the scene at their landing'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
