I asked for a Bible and looked up the passage and read: ‘Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him with twenty thousand?’ Of course, I understood at once what the message meant. The Matabele had an army of many thousands. I had nine hundred settlers available for action. Could I, after careful consideration, venture to face such unequal odds?

I decided at once in the affirmative, and immediately telegraphed back to Mr Rhodes at Cape Town. ‘All right. Have read Luke fourteen thirty-one.’
