SOME FARTHER PARTICULARS RELATIVE TO THE 
WILD BUSHMEN. 
No people are fouder of tobacco than the wild Bush- 
men, yet, though many parts of their land is well adapted 
to the growth of that plant, they never think of attempt- 
ing it. Indeed they seem to suppose that industry or 
labour of any kind does not belong to them. 
When the Bushmen who live in the vicinity of the 
colony see a boor's waggon at a distance, they have no 
other inducement to visit it than the hope of obtaining a 
little tobacco ; and as all waggons have not that article, 
they have a curious method of ascertaining the fact. 
They follow the track of the waggon, and ascertain by 
the marks of expectoration on the ground, or by the 
fumes of the pipe, if the travellers are using tobacco. If 
either of these indications exist, they hasten after the 
waggon with great eagerness, and beg for a portion ; 
otherwise they let it pass unregarded. 
They have a method of constructing a pipe from the 
bone of an animal, in such a way that the oil of the to- 
bacco is retained after smoking. When their stock of 
tobacco is finished, they put a little of this oil on the 
leaves of some kind of bush which they also smoke, and 
thus make a small quantity last a considerable time.
