westward, over extensive deserts, till he came to a 
great water, probably the Atlantic Ocean, where 
they found a harmless people, many of whom he 
killed, and carried off their cattle. The stand- 
ard of excellence is formed by the number of men 
whom each individual has killed 5 and in this scale, 
one white man is considered equivalent to two 
black. 
The two tribes immediately to the north of 
Leetakoo are the Morolongs (Barroloos of Trut- 
ter) and the Wanketzens ; concerning the precise 
situation and distance of whom, Mr Campbell 
seems to have received somewhat contradictory 
information. Moosso, the capital of the Moro- 
longs, is much larger than Leetakoo, and contains 
ten or twelve thousand inhabitants. Melita, the 
chief place of the Wanketzens, is somewhat 
smaller than Moosso. Farther to the north are 
the Macquanas, the most populous and civilized 
of all these tribes, and whose capital was describ- 
ed as three times larger than Leetakoo. 
Mr Campbell's party, in their return south- 
wards, took a somewhat more easterly direction 
than their predecessors. This enabled them to 
observe the junction of four great rivers, the 
Malalareen, the Yellow river, the Alexander, and 
the Cradock, which concur in forming the Great 
or Orange river, a stream which runs here near- 
ly across the continent, and falls into the Atlantic*
