A PRESENT OF VEGETABLES. 443 



the Englishman who had treated me so hospitably 

 at Lieufontein. His heart was as generous as ever, for 

 he gave me an immense supply of vegetables, at the 

 same time expressing numerous regrets that he was not 

 journeying in the same direction as myself. When he 

 started for Sechelle's, I trecked to the south. Shall I 

 ever meet this genial, kind soul again ? It is not 

 impossible, but very improbable. Whether or not, I 

 wish him happiness and prosperity.
