BEHAVIOUR OF THE NATIVES. 
239 
Pelangye, who came in our party from Old 
Lattakoo, told me that I gave buttons, &c. to 
every one but him, even to poor Bootshuana 
Bushmen, a deed he could not forget. He said he 
should have nothing remarkable to put on at the 
peetzo, (or general meeting of the captains, that 
the Kegent had promised to call,) to make him 
appear connected with white men. 
A greater number of natives attended worship 
in the evening than on any former occasion. The 
singing of the Hottentots attracted much notice 
from them. They behaved well during the ad- 
dress, and the prayer which was put up by 
Sedrass, the interpreter, in their own language ; 
but the instant worship was over, they laughed 
and talked like men who had only been diverted 
for a time, or as if extremely glad it was over. 
The messengers from the king of the Wanket- 
zens were present, and noticed every thing atten- 
tively, no doubt with the view of reporting it to 
their master. 
The Hottentot, with whose dog Moeelway had 
fallen in love, obtained a fine ox in exchange for 
him.
