485 ARRIVAL AT CAPE-TOWN. fi813. 
Some waggons from Cape-town were here, and we 
found our dog Lion was with them, who had been 
missing for more than a fortnight. On seeing us, he 
seemed pleased to rejoin his old masters, but after re- 
maining a while with us, he was desirous to follow his 
new friends, when we fastened him to the waggon. 
Now Capetown, Table Mountain, Table Bay, with 
the shipping were all full in view. 
When the worship of the sabbath was over, Mr. 
Read and I walked to Cape-town in the evening after 
sun-set, where I was received by my kind friend Mr. 
K. Duncan and his friends, with open arms ; our 
waggons were to follow next morning. 
Thus ended a journey of nearly nine months, and 
all of us were in as good health as when we set out ; 
indeed I was much better. Were I to forget to praise 
the Lord for his protecting care, I should be one of 
the most ungrateful beings under the sun; for his 
goodness and mercy attended us every day, and as far 
as I know, every object I had in view in the journey 
prospered far beyond my expectation. Many news- 
papers and about thirty letters were waiting for me 
from various quarters, but I had resolution to put off 
their perusal till the following day.
