Sir Henry Brougham Loch, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., whose name has recently been
so prominently before the public in connection with the disturbances in
Mashonaland, is Chief Commissioner at the Cape. In his diplomatic career
he was taken prisoner during the war with China; and, with Mr. Boulby,
the _Times_ correspondent, was carried about in a cage by his captors,
and exhibited to the natives. After his liberation he returned to
England, and was appointed Governor of the Isle of Man, and subsequently
Governor of Victoria; and, in 1889, was appointed to succeed Sir
Hercules Robinson as Chief Commissioner at the Cape.
