We boiled a piece of the flesh of a rhinoceros which was toughness itself, the night before.

The meat was our supper, and porridge made of Indian corn-meal and gravy of the meat made a very good dinner next day.

When about 150 miles from home we came to a large village.

The chief had sore eyes; I doctored them, and he fed us pretty well with milk and beans, and sent a fine buck after me as a present.

When we had got about ten or twelve miles on the way, a little girl about eleven or twelve years of age came up and sat down under my wagon, having run away for the purpose of coming with us to Kuruman.
