SOUTH AFRICA: The Skull of Lobengula
(2 of 2)
Friendly Place. In the cave, when Commissioner Huxtable saw it last month, were some old rifles, a bullet mold, a saddle, an ornate chair which had been a gift to Lobengula from Queen Victoria. A skull and a few cracked bones were all that jackals and hyenas had left of Lobengula. Of treasure there was no sign. Then & there, Huxtable proclaimed the cave a national monument.
When Huxtable returned to Bulawayo, he told the story and said: "Lobengula was also called 'Ndhlovu,' meaning elephant. There are elephants everywhere in that far place. I feel he is not lonely."
