The Kaffirs are great swimmers. They
can do things in the water which other
folk would look upon with aStoniSh-
ment. Fer example Kaffir boy can
ford stream shoulder high, running
as swiftly as if shot from torrent
The way they accomplish the feat Is
thus: just before entering the water
they get a huge stone. sometimes as
heavy as themselves. aud with the help
Of companion place it upon the head.
4 weight like this gives the 10y bal

to drop the stone, he would be SO light
that the water would sweep him off his
feet. And this is just one of the kaffir
tricks to accomplish things against tide
