We only heard jackals around us this night.
June 6. — We hoped to get to Pretorius Kop this day and started early ; our path was most undefined,, and wound in and out among the hills, gradually falling to the south-east ; we found much wood here and there and tall tambookie grass. There was very little food for the oxen. We walked on in front looking for game, at about three and a half miles per hour, and the oxen kept up well with us. At 2 p.m. we began to descend through a dense forest, and c...ame upon a beautiful stream of water about ten yards wide. Here was grass for our oxen, and we waited an hour and bathed and fed. Starting again about 3 p.m., we found the heat had much increased, as we had come down 2500 feet, and were Digitized by VjOOQIC TO DELAGOA BAY 185 now only about 1800 feet above the level of the sea.
The oxen now showed signs of lameness, and we were anxious to get on to a house at Pretorius Kop, where we might make ourselves secure, but it was to no purpose. We trotted the oxen through the tall grass and thickets at five miles an hour, and ran ourselves behind the cart, but though we made great haste we were still far from the Eop at sunset, and in a very disagreeable thicket full of tall grass, where it was so dark it was no longer safe to be without a light ; we turned off to a thorn-tree and made preparations to stay there for the night.
