58 OTJIMBINGUE. [chap. ii. 



Otjimbingue, found Hans, who went directly back with 

 oxen and yokes, and, before sundown, we were all 

 encamped on the Swakoj), at the Missionary station of 

 Otjimbingue. But now there was tliis difference, that 

 no more yellow faces of Hottentots were about us, as 

 at Walfisch Bay, but we had come among the negroes — 

 the Damaras — and a country that was, in a certain 

 sense, generally habitable, stretched before us instead 

 of a sand-desert.
