TRAVELS IN 
more than one at a time. As the plate in my 
former vohimes reprefenting the male giraffe 
was faulty, becaufe the head was badly exe- 
cuted, the reader will not be difpleafed to find 
here a more accurate reprefentation of the part 
in queftion on a larger fcale. 
Five leagues from us toward the weft was a 
horde of Caminouquas, who, no doubt in- 
formed of our prefence by my fires, came to 
pay me a vlfit, and give my party leffons of 
economy. They fell upon what remained of 
the giraffe, like fo many famifhed people, and 
carefully picked up the bones. Even thofe 
which my people had throvv^n away, after eating 
the marrow, they turned to account. Having 
brokefi them to pieces, they borrowed my 
kettle to boil them, and extracted from them 
an incredible quantity of fat, which they col- 
lected with great joy. 
During the nine days I remained here, they 
were continually travelling from their kra^^l to 
my camp, inceffantly coming and going, like 
careful ants, and always carrying away fome 
provifion. 
I furnilhed th^m pientifally with feveral 
forts of antelopes, without giving myfelf any 
trouble.
