in the camp of the white men and walked into the wrong place. He was punished.”
H. “Sir, I believe you have done all you can to defend this place. You have earned much
honour in your resistance. It takes as much bravery to recognise when you have lost
as it does to fight a battle. I think now is the time for you to give up your fort.”
