 ENGLAND. START FOR BOMBAY. THE TOWN 

 AND THE PEOPLE. AWAY FOR THE FORESTS 

 AND JUNGLES. 



EVER-RESTLESS life, who shall mark thy flitting changes ? 

 We, who had scarcely concluded an expedition which 

 would have served many for the boast of all their days, 

 were eager to start for other scenes of peril. We passed 

 but two days at Grahamstown. On the morning of the third 

 day, we took the route for Port Elizabeth, which we reached 

 on the afternoon of the seventh day after leaving Gra- 

 hamstown. We found Port Elizabeth to be a town of 

 about five hundred houses, built on the shore of Algoa 

 Bay. It presented a miserable appearance, but we were 

 surprised to find an excellent hotel where we could secure 

 fine accommodations.
