nominally in the parish of Graaf Reynet, which 
is about one hundred miles distant from it, but 
thither they cannot go above once or twice in the 
year. Perhaps the Toornberg and Tkannee 
Bushmen might be prevailed on to reside at one 
station, when a Missionary can be again sent to 
them. 
We left Toornberg at one p. m. and travelled for 
some time among numerous heaps of large stones 
or rocks, from five to fifty feet high, often piled 
so regularly upon each other, that it appeared as 
if they had been adjusted by the plumbline — 
even the Hottentots were amused by the differ- 
ent forms of those collection of stones ; most of 
them were ornamented with evergreen trees and 
bushes, growing out from the interstices ; the 
whole resembling ruins of castles, palaces, &c. 
and covering a space of perhaps twenty miles in 
circumference. At two p. m. we passed Vander- 
wault's Fountain, where a boor had erected five 
reed-houses, and ploughed some ground. We 
next entered an extensive plain, bounded by low 
hills, where we met a waggon, the first, except 
our own, which we had seen during six months. 
At four p. M. we crossed the limits of the colony, 
and at five arrived at Pinnar's place, where there 
is a substantial farm-house, with barns, slave- 
houses, and a good garden ; the family, we were 
sorry to learn, were from home, with their cattle.
