menced our last stage to Lattakoo, which is 
about fifteen miles. Our oxen being in good 
condition, and the road good, we travelled at the 
rate of nearly five miles an nour. The two 
Matchappees, though they had been hunting 
from an early hour in the morning, were able 
with ease to keep up with our waggons. At 
length we entered among extensive corn-fields 
on both sides the road ; our Hottentots were 
amazed at the extent of land under cultivation, 
having never seen so much before in one place. 
At five p. M. we reached the town, and found 
our friends at the station in good health ; they 
had been apprised of our approach, by two 
Bushmen, who had seen us in the morning.
