away from Middelborg to ti v ann trade sunn ol it.
lt was a risky thing to uo into tbe country so
early, on account nf tbe fever; hut I knew that
tli.re was one or Iwo oth. rs after that lol ot ivory.
an I determined to have a try foi it. and take mv
chance of fever. 1 had gol so tough fn>in cont bu i!

th. beauty was tbe beauty ol death i ami all those

" It waa a di. a.lful yeal of illness, that. I came, I
remember, to one little kraal ttl Koobuoaea, and
Went Up to it t.i --ee if 1 COUld get -urra- mtUU i ur.: ed

etrnck with tbe silence ol tbe place. No children
