there for weary weeks and weeks, my two wagons lay, like the Erehus and Terror in tlie ice, far in the desert, a tliou- .sand miles from my nearest countr^nnen, wliom I hardly hoped to see again.
" I remember feeling very desolate on that occasion, and could not help being in low spirits, and entertaining sad for- bodings of still greater evils. I had left the colony with a gay cavalcade of sixteen fiery young saddle horses, xipwards of forty powerful draught oxen, a herd of she-goats for milk,... and a pack of about thirty serviceable dogs, all of which, marching along in their pride and strength, impai-ted to my caravan something of the appearance which we might fancy exhibited by the patriarchs of olJ.

Tliey were all gone! the hyaijnas and the vulture had fought over their remains, and their skeletons bleaching on the glowing plain, strewed my line of march ; and, worse than all, poor Hendrick !
