Sir Frederic Carringtor'and some of the officers at the Bechuanaland border police watched our proceedin, After yrokking six miles we outspanned and set up our camp for the night. The appearance of our camp was very , striking. © moon 'Was shining brightly, and the long avemue of wagons on each side of the road with the oxen lying down attached to their yokes of- fered a most singular and memorable sight. My expedition had been joined at Tuti by Mr, Lee, n son of John Lee; who ears in Matabeleland at Lee's Castl u the 18th everyone was astir by 5.80 o'clcek in the morning and the wi were started off at daybreak. - They trekked seven miles and outspanmed at 9, the sun being already warm.

To niake good treks it is necessary for the oxen to labor either during the night or late in the afternoon when the sun is low. It was therefore decided to return to the hours of trekking which had been adopted by the ex- pedision during their passage through huanaland--irom 1 a.m. to daybreak and from 4.30 p.m. until 8 p.m. When the wagons star in the early morning m spider remained till 6 am. and saught up to the wagons by breakfast me. The 20th I rode with Lee into the bush. We came across two Koodoo bulls, one of which Lee shot. The Koodoo is a magnifi- cent antelope. It stands as high as a mule, is of a soft grey color, its face is beautifully marked th white, and it carries fine twisting horns from two to three feet long. Further on we put up two wild pigs. Lee t one and I got the other. That morning Fo for the first time the honey bird, We followed it up for about half a mile. When Lee whistled it gave back an answering note, fying from tree to tree and Joading us on. When it reached the tree occupi by the wild bees it answered no more to Lee's whistle, indicating that the hofiey was found and flying off to a neighbdring tree to. watch our proceedin; As we were unpro- "vided with an ax the poor bird was destined to. be disappointed in us, Lee aid his boy both climbed the tree and found the holes into the hive and got well stung.
