Dutch fryle. They have nothing of that fal-

the Hollander ; but are fprightly and good 
humoured. 
My habiliments when I reached this hap- 
py fpot, were in a deplorable condition ; and 
this being foon perceived by the excellent 
lady of the raanfion, flie ordered m-^ Jiock of 
I'men to be v/aihed, and provided me with 
fucli neceifaries as I v/anted for the prefent. 
I remained two days, under the roof of this 
liberal and benevolent Q-entieman. He ureff- 
€d me to ftay longer ; but I was defirous of 
reaching the Cape, and therefore declined 
his hofpitable invitation. In the morning, 
therefore^ he provided me with a horfe and 
guide, and I took my departure from StaU 
ten B^p QVL the 30th in-tlie morning. Our 
journey was but Ciort, as we arrived the 
.lame evening at the Cape qf Good Hope ; and 
although emaciated in my frame, yet in 
tolerable health.
