16 ADDITIONS TO OUR PARTY. 



ful run, and I visited Napoleon's tomb for the first 

 time. Everything else on the island I was thoroughly 

 disgusted with. The fine weather we had enjoyed so 

 far continued for the remainder of the voyage, and 

 we anchored in Table Bay at 10.15 a.m. on the 10th 

 July. Directly we dropped anchor a stiff breeze set 

 in from the N.W., which soon freshened, and blew 

 for forty-eight hours, one of the heaviest gales they 

 have had in those parts for some time. Damage to 

 the amount of over £200 was done to the break- 

 water. Captain Baynton, who had remained on 

 board, says in all his experience he never was so 

 knocked about in a ship before. 



Here Mr. Young added to our party two boys who 

 had once been liberated from the bonds of slavery by 

 the last English mission-party on the river Shire ; their 

 respective names were Chinsoro and Sinjeery, and 

 they were to act as interpreters, speaking English, 

 Manganja, and Ajawah. Two Krumen as black as 

 soot completed the party ; their names were Antonio 

 and John Brown. The former had been a Portu- 

 guese soldier once, and knew that language well. 

 We were also supplied with a whale-boat from the 

 dockyard. I was enabled, during four days I was 

 waiting for a man-of-war, to visit some very pretty 

 places near Cape Town — Wynburg, Rondebust, and 

 Seapoint being perhaps the prettiest. Most people 

 here laugh at the idea of going to look for Living- 

 stone, and many think us little short of fools ; while 

 not a few say they never expect to see or hear of us 

 again.
