SPORTING SCENES 



AMONGST 



THE KAFFIRS OF SOUTH AFRICA 



BY 



CAPT. ALFRED W. DRAYSON, 



ROYAL ARTILLERY. 



" Afar in the desert I love to ride, 

 With the silent Bushboy alone by my side ; 

 Away, away, from the dwellings of men, 

 By the antelope's haunt and the buffalo's glen ; 

 By valleys remote, where the ourebi plays, 

 The gnu, the gazelle, and the hartebeest graze; 

 Where the gemsbok and eland unhunted recline, 

 By the skirts of grey forests o'erhung with wild vine."
