CHAP. XXVII. 
OCCURRENCES AT CAPE TOWN— VOYAGE TO ENG- 
LAND—ARRIVAL IN LONDON. 
i\.FTER my arrival at Cape Town, the scull and 
horn of the supposed unicorn excited consider- 
able attention. It was placed in a large room of 
Dr. Philip's house for the convenience of the 
public, and was first honoured by a visit from 
his Excellency Sir Rufane Shaw Donkin, the 
Governor, and Colonel Bird, the Colonial Secre- 
tary, and soon after by Sir John Truter, President 
of the Court of Justice, and other Members of 
that Court, the President of the Burgher Senate, 
many Gentlemen from India, Officers of the Army 
and Navy, and, indeed, by most of the principal 
persons both at the Cape and in its neighbour- 
hood. The general opinion of these visitors was, 
that no other animal would be discovered better 
answering the description of the fancied uni- 
corn.
