Da wir nun mehr Freizeit hatten, begann ich meinen Rucksack zu untersuchen – das bedeutet die Haut eines Bocks, gehäutet ganz, und offen nur an den Hinterbeinen.

. The history of the battles and adventures of the British, the Boers, and the Zulus, etc. in Southern Africa, from the time of Pharaoh Necho, to 1888 . trong party of infantryfrom the camp. As we had now more leisure, I began to examine myknapsack—this means the skin of a buck, skinned whole, and open only at the hind legs. The skins are dressedand made as soft as a glove, and are very convenient forcarrying anything. Mine on this occasion contained, to •my surprise, several pieces of real English plate, in theshape of an old fashioned silver tea pot, a snuffer tray, twosilver forks, a table spoon and two tea spoons, besides theusual tinder box, tobacco and pipe, and some other triflingarticles.

Cattle were stolen from the colony, , and although traced into Kaffirland, and to the marauderskraals, the chiefs refused either to give up the beasts or tosurrender the thieves. Wagons were also stopped uponthe high roads and plundered, and in some instances theleaders and drivers killed. General (
