CHAP XVI. 
AN ACCOUNT OF THE THIRD RESIDENCE AT LAT- 
TAKOO CONCLUDED. 
Immediately after morning worship we 
were sorry to hear the alarm-cry again com- 
mence at the east end of the town, announcing 
that the Bushmen had stolen some cattle. In 
about five minutes after the alarm was given, 
armed men were seen rushing out from various 
parts of the town. At the same time Mateebe 
was observed running alone, and without noticing 
any person; every man hastened to the spot 
where the robbery had been committed.* 
A Griqua, who came from Griqua Town to 
Lattakoo, thinking he was compelled to work 
too much, set oflf alone on his return home. 
* As the Bootshuanas can run with much greater speed than 
the Bushmen, the latter seldom escape, if they are once got 
sight of.
