226 VISITS TO MADAGASCAE. chap. viii. 



South African house, as when I visited the tomb of Mr. 

 Anderson's family at Pecaltsdorp, an,d that of Dr. Philip's 

 family at Hankey, as well as that of Mr. Hart's family here. 



Leaving the missionary and the valued friends we had met 

 ■with at Somerset, we returned to Orange Grrove. Although 

 some horses had died at Somerset since our arrival, our own 

 were still safe ; but as we were now proceeding towards the 

 eastern frontier and Caffreland, and our driver expressed his 

 doubts of two of them, as to whether they would be able to 

 travel much farther, we disposed of them to Mr. Hart, and 

 received from him, as exchange in part, ten good strong oxen 

 with which to pursue our journey.
