I'M not giving you this document word for word. It was long, and a lot of Veddle's statements were wholly inaccurate.
Field and his partner, Venn (he afterwards called himself Voss) located a mine in Africa.

The mine was located through the instrumentality of a native chief, whose daughter Field married.
