The partly depopulated country was afterwards settled by Europeans, among whom were members of the German legion which had served with the British army in the Crimea, and some 2000 industrious North German emigrants, who proved a valuable acquisition to the colony.
Det affolkede land blev derpå befolket af europæiske nybyggere, blandt dem medlemmer af den tyske legionen som havde tjent med den britiske hær i Krim, og cirka 2000 driftige nordtyske immigranter som viste sig at være en værdifuld berigelse for kolonien.
