When I reached the spot all I found was two circles of ashes. The tent and the hut had been burnt down bedding, clothing, provisions everything except the gun, which I had taken with me, and the saddle which was in the pony's shelter down in the kloof had been consumed. Toby had bolted. I burst into tears and flung myself to the ground. Night fell; I could not endure the loneliness, so fled from the desolated spot. I was at the time not quite fourteen years old. Shortly after this catastrophe I... trekked with my flock to a small farm near what is now called Kei Road, but which was then known as Hangman's Bush. Here there was a home- stead. But the place was surrounded by small 88 South African Pioneer fields cultivated by German peasants ; con- sequently the sheep were continually trespassing and being sent to the pound. Before many months the flock had to be disposed of at a ruinous loss. Thus ingloriously ended my first and last adventure as a stock-farmer. My next essay, towards wooing fortune was in the line of Kaffir trading.
