Rhodes, and con- ducted by a Dutch Church minister, made a faint attempt to penetrate the desert, principally with a view to ascertain the capabilities of the country bordered by the Botletle River for immigration purposes.

It is said that on this occasion two faint ...attempts to tap underground waters were made without success, and the expedition was a failure as I fully expected it would be under the circumstances. In fact, no expedition of the kind should be undertaken in a perfunctory manner, and when on the edge of the desert some weeks should be expended in acquiring all the information possible from natives and other residents.
