a little distance further on among the woods.
forming some very picturesque cascades nd
the banks Of which were covered with a
beautiful and rare kind Of flower. He there
fore started alone upon ramble in search
OF it, and succeeded at length, after some
little dificulty,in making it out. Seduced
by the wild loveliness Of the scene. he ad-
vanced further on TO the other side of the
stream, along what is called Caffre patb:

and not being able TO see the slightest YES

make towards the low ground in hopes of
finding the stream.

dislnay, was not forthcoming, as they hau

getting away from them and back to Perrie
