longing to travellers have perished in this journey 
across the desert. Now they are accustomed to 
pursue a southerly direction to the Orange River, 
and travel westward along its north bank, till 
they reach that country. No elevated tracks, 
except hills of sand, are to be seen in the desert, 
though almost all kinds of game are found 
there, but neither the buffalo nor the rhinoceros. 
The game, they weakly supposed, must, in the 
dry season, live without moisture, except what 
might be in the grass. But there may be pools 
in the desert frequented by the game, and known 
only to the Bushmen, who are generally averse 
to give information respecting water in those 
parts of the country where they live. The 
Krooman, like the great Orange River, they said 
formerly ran across the desert, and in their re- 
membrance flowed opposite to Turreehey.
