yo THE HUNTER'S ARCADIA. 



powerful koodoo, all Nature's favourites, for si 

 has, with lavish hand indeed, endowed them with 

 such attractive gifts, that destitute indeed of soul 

 must be the man who cannot feel enthralled by 

 gazing on their perfections. 



Look into the camp, though. Observe the two 

 snow-white tilted wagons drawn up side by side, 

 about twelve feet apart, the intervening space covered 

 with a new duck sail. This is our sanctum sanc- 

 torum, and sacred from the intrusion of any but our 

 body servants or invited guests. Note it at the 

 present time, and you will observe in it a portable 

 table covered with a cloth that shames in cleanliness 

 many to be found in European restaurants, while at 

 each end stands a folding chair as luxurious to rest 

 in as ever decorated drawing-room. 



Twenty yards behind the wagons burns a bright, 

 clear fire, around which three or four natives are 

 attending to the cooking ; while between them, 

 wherever space will permit, are assembled dogs of 

 high and low degree, from the pure-bred English 

 greyhound to the Kaffir cur. Note the interest 

 these animals take in each pot, and with what 

 thorough decorum they conduct themselves.
