That season he had stayed too late. on the Chobe River near where it runs into the Zambesi, and with most of his eople had got fever badly. They had had a disastrous trek out, losing most of their oxen and all their horses; and “hem I came across them they were stuck fast in the doorst-iand, thirst- land, unable to move forward or back. For two and a half days they had been without water; and from being in bad health to begin with, hadn't half a chance; and if I had act stumbled up- on them, they must all have been dead within fifteen hours. I had luckily some water in my vatjes, and manrig d; to pull them round‘; and that night. having their wagon in the tie- pert. in hope of being saved subsequent- ly, and taking as much of the ivory and valuables as we could manage. and Mowbray's. the Englishman's guns and amnu mition, we made a good trek, and reui‘hed water on the afternoon of the next day. I never saw a man so grateful as Mowbray. During the short time I knew him I found him one 1 of th- best fellows and most delightful q companions I ever met.

For an hour or more we talked upon a variety of topicsâ€"03d days in Eng- land, the voyage to the Cape, the Col- ony, its prospects, and its Sport. “ ’Tis Strange,” said one of our num- ber. “how 1ittle is known of the Orange Riverâ€"at all events west of the» Fails. I don't think I ever met a man who had been down it. One would thfnk the Colonists would know something of their northern bound- ary; as a matter of fact they don’t." "Ah! talking of the Orange River remznds me,” said the younger of the transport riders, the ex-Oxonian and the’ more loquacious of the two, ”of a. most extraordinary yarn I heard from a man I fell in with, some years back, stranded in the "thirst-land" northâ€" west of Shoshong. Poor chap! he was in a sorry péight. He was an English gentleman, who for years had- frnm farmhouse near which was a public outspun. At this outspan two trans- port riders were sitting snugly over their evening meal. They seemed a couple of cheery good fellows, one an English Africander, the other an Eng- lishman, an old University man, and well read, as we afterwards discover- ed, and nothing would suit them but Ithut we should join them and take pot- uck. Many are the stories told at the out- man fines of the South African trans. port riders, some weird, some romantic some of the native wars, some of fierce encounters with the wild beasts of the land. Often as I travelled with my friends tip-country we Stepped to have a chat with these rugged people. and some strange and intereszing inform- ation was obtained in this way. The transport rider â€" the car- rier of Africaâ€"with his stout wagon and span of oxen travels year atter year over the rough roads of Cape Co:- ony, and far beyond, in all directions, and is constantly encountering all sorts and conditions of men, white, black. and off-colored; and in his wan- derings or over his evening camp-fire he picks up great Stores of legends and adventures from the passing hunters, expforers and traders.
