CHAP. XXV. 
ARRIVAL AT THE GREAT RIVER— DEUVERANCE FROM 
seven, A.M. we crossed the river very easily, 
a few hundred yards higher up. At ten, A.M. after 
descending a considerable time, we again fell in 
with the river, wliere we met four Bushmen, who in- 
formed us we were not far from the mouth of the 
river. At eleven we observed oxen feeding at a dis- 
tance, which we afterwards found were sent from our 
friends at Klaar Water, to relieve our weary animals. 
Soon after, we came in sight of three waggons be- 
longing to these friends, who had come there to hunt 
sea cows. At noon we arrived at the Yellow River, 
into which the Malalareen empties itself The Yellow 
River is considerably larger than the Thauies above the 
tide, and is considerably increased by the junction of 
the other. At this confluence is one of the most 
charming spots on earth, the river and its elevated 
banks being covered with trees. This part of the 
Great River was never before visited by white men. 
Thermometer at noon 69. Travelled to-day S.W.
