4i TRAVELS IN 
rations confumed the remainder of the day, 
and obliged us to pafs the night in the midft of 
this huge flaughter-houfe. Thofe delicious and 
rare morfels, the feet, were roafted as yfual in 
the embers. Every one was adive in prepar- 
ing this feaft, for it was long fmce we had 
favoured any thing like it. The choiceft mor- 
fels being allotted for the mafter, while the lefs 
dainty chines gratified the more hungry, every 
gueft falling to with much joy and appetite, and 
good water being plenty, nothing was wanting 
to this celebrated fupper, but the certainty of 
making a fimilar one every day. 
Thus diverting my lelfiire hours, I divided 
my days between the pleafure of hunting, and 
that of acquiring from the two wandering bro- 
thers more accurate information refpeding the 
country which I intended to traverfe. But 
the moft agreeable day to me was unqueftion- 
ably that on which I faw all my efFeds arrive 
at the kraal of Klaas Bailer, and my people 
affembled around me. Every one was eager 
to teftify his joy : every one endeavoured 
to outvie the reft in reciting all the anxiety he 
had felt on account of my dangers ; and I was 
obliged to attend to this overflow of protefta-
