...mixed force of 200 bluejackets and Royal Marines tumbled out of motor lorries at Serowe, Bechuanaland last week, set up a strong wire barricade, a khaki tent fly for a canopy and unfolded two canvas chairs. A host of 15,000 chattering, grinning natives gathered round the fence, for on the chairs sat two mighty chieftains come to judge the native Chief Tshekedi...
