Four thousand Swazi warriors, in full war dress, drawn up in lines half a mile long, gave the royal salute, ending in a shrill, piercing whistle. The paramount Chief of Sobsurza did the honours of the occasion, wearing a smart grey lounge suit and a grev hat. He was assisted by the Queen Mother, whose head-dress included the lurid feather' of the Rain'Maker, for which she is l famed. The Prince was greatly inter- sled in his inspection of the Swazi regiments.
