August.] ARRIVAL AT GRIQUA TOWN. 
241 
Africaner hoped the Society would send a Mis- 
sionary to him as soon as possible,, 
We departed at three p. m., Berend, Kars, c^cc. 
accompanying us in three waggons to Griqua 
Town, in order to meet the Landdrost of Graaf 
Reynet, who was expected to be there in a few 
days. Africaner went westward, while our way 
was nearly south. We travelled till midnight, 
when we halted under a hill, near a few trees, 
which afforded shelter from the cold winds, but 
no water could be found. 
August 2. At nine a.m. we renewed our 
journey, and at two p. m. happily reached water 
at Cogelbane [or Bullet Leg] Fountain, so called 
from a Bushman captain, who had stolen cattle, 
having been here wounded in the leg by a Griqua. 
This man now lives at Berend's place, and says 
he was so frightened when he received the wound, 
that he resolved to steal no more cattle, and that 
he has always taught his children the same lesson. 
We left Cogelbane Fountain at five p. m., and at 
eight halted at Crystal-hill, within five miles of 
Griqua Town, but it was too dark to proceed with 
safety. 
We went forward in the morning, and were 
glad to find our friends there in health.
