Old Relics Found.

Whilst making excavations at the
Cape Town railway station for wall.
building purposes last year, some
workmen found several loose stones
with inscriptions. such as were used
by the captains of ships calling at the
Cape before Van Riebeek had built his
little fort, to denote the places where
letters might be found. Further
search revealed the fight of steps on
the old seashore, which constituted
the first landing place for persons ar.
irving by sea, and may have been used
by Van Riebeek himself. The stones
were found at a depth of over 20 feet.
and with them a small tobacco pipe
and a key. All the relics have now
been placed I'm an alcove on the sta
ton platform, erected at the exact
spot where they were found, and an

tells their history to travellers.
