At Shashi River, 5 P.M., the three special trains lay close together, because of the difficult gradient leading out of the bed of the river.  While the engines assisted the trains up the steep, I came across an impromptu presentation of an address by the Mayor of Cape Town to Mr. Logan, the caterer of the excursion parties.  According to what was said, we were all made to believe that we could not have been better served had the first European caterer undertaken the provisioning, to which no one could make objection, and a duly signed testimonial to that effect was presented to that gentleman.
