March.] WILD BUSHMAN COUNTRY. 
37. 
P.M. on a plain extending far before us, and 
bounded only by the horizon. About sunset, 
hundreds of springboks were seen peaceably 
feeding beside some pools of water. We killed 
one and wounded another, but it escaped. 
In the morning, gensboks, ostriches, and other 
animals came to drink, but were intimidated by 
the appearance of the waggons. They stood 
motionless, and looked towards them for a long' 
time, after which they turned round and soon 
disappeared. Therm, at noon 88. 
At six p. M. we pursued our course over an 
immense plain, which presented itself to the 
view in a northerly direction. In it stood a co- 
nical hill, as if placed by Providence for a 
landmark to guide travellers across the country. 
At half-past two o'clock in the morning we halted 
near a row of pools, filled with white water. 
March 1st. Two thirsty springboks were shot 
in the morning, on their way to the water. Os- 
triches, quachas, and various other animals, were 
observed approaching for the same purpose, but 
were scared by the appearance of the waggons. 
We were visited by five Bushmen and two 
women. They knew there was a God, but said 
He was only for white men, not for them. They 
attended our worship with great decorum.
