GRIQUA TOWN.

addressed the Bushmen, residing at Griqua town, 
through a Griqua interpreter, who seemed to per- 
form his part very well, the poor Bushmen sat on 
the front benches and listened with attention. 
We visited some of their families in their huts, 
and they appeared pleased at being noticed. 
On the evening of the 17 th our pleasure was 
increased by a visit from Mr. Hamilton, of Lat- 
takoo, who had been at the Great Orange River 
cutting timber for a mill. Two days before he 
had left his waggon to follow him, and kindly 
came forward on foot to meet us. He had slept 
the night previous to his arrival under a bush. 
At one time he heard a wolf behind him on the 
road, but neither saw nor heard any lions.
