3.30 EXPEDITION INTO SOUTHERN AFRICA. 



cattle stolen; niul the recovered were 31 horses and 58 cattle. 

 The " irreclaimable list" during the same period g-ave the 

 result 140 depredations — 226 horses, and 515 cattle stolen ; 

 the recovered were 59 horses and 216 cattle. From the 

 northward accounts have been received relative to Mr. 

 Kinlock of the E. I. C. Service, who had returned from the 

 shooting- pnrty in the Cashan mountains. He visited Pot- 

 g*eiter's party, who had just returned from an unsuccessfril 

 search after Moselekatse. They discovered what they call 

 one of his spy kraals or outposts, which they attacked, and 

 from which it is said not more than half-a-dozen persons 

 escaped alive. They intended to search for the chief ag-ain, 

 as it was Potg*eiter's opinion ag*ainst others that he was not 

 killed. During- the expedition a Hottentot, attached to it, 

 was foimd murdered, as it was supposed by Bushmen, and 

 in consequence of this a neig'hbouring- kraal of that people 

 was attacked, and 13 men killed. Potg-eiter's party on the 

 Mooi river had not much advanced in building* : one or two 

 houses only had been erected ; the rest were living- in their 

 wag-g-ons. A g-ood deal of g-rain had been sown, but the 

 country was much infested with locusts ; and these people 

 are represented as altog-ether living- in a lawless state. 

 They considered Mr. Kinlock's party as spies sent out by 

 the Eng-lish Government, and refused for some time to allow 

 them to proceed ; and only consented at last on condition 

 of two boors being- allowed to accompany the party, which 

 was ag-reed to. They proved an acquisition in some respects; 

 but on parting- made a charg-e of 100 rix-dollars (£30) which 

 sum they were paid. The traffic was said to be constant ; 

 and numerous wag'g-ons were seen on the route towards 

 the camp of the emig-rant farmers."
