344 JOURNEY BEYOND THE GREAT RIVER. [1813. 
26th. Our people, being anxious to reach Griqua 
town early, had all in motion before day light, so that 
we airived there about eleven A.M. our journey to 
Lattakoo and Malapeetzee having occupied us six 
weeks. 
Our three Hottentots, who did not accompany us 
to Lattakoo, when they heard the others recount the 
wonders they had seen there, were exceedingly vexed 
that they had loitered behind, and surprised at their 
own conduct ; but had we all been murdered, like poor 
Cowan, they would have thought very difterently. 
Now we had reached a temporary rest, and could 
truly say. Hitherto God has helped^ and certainly he 
should have the glory.
