Suddenly we noticed that the usual sounds of the forest had almost ceased around us. Deep in the wood we coidd still hear the chattering of monkeys and the screeching of parrots. Never before had our presence created any alarm among the denizens of the tree- tops ; or, if it had, it had merely excited to fresh clamor, without putting them to flight. We looked around for the cause of this sudden retreat. " Perhaps," I replied to Kaloolah's inquiry, " there is a storm gathering, and they are gone... to seek a shelter deeper in the wood." We advanced close to the edge of the bank, and looked out into the broad daylight that poured down from above on flood and field. There was the same bright smile on the distant fields and hills ; the same clear sheen m the deep water ; the same lustrous stillness in the perfumed air ; not a single prognostic of any commotion among the elements ! I placed my gun against a tree, and took a seat upon an exposed portion of one of its roots. Coimtless herds of animals, composed of quaggas, zebras, gnus, antelopes, hart-beasts, roeboks, spring- boks, bufFalos, wild boars, and a dozen other kinds, for which my recollection of African travels furnished no names, were roaming over the fields on the other side of the river, or quietly reposing in the shade of the scattered mimosas, or beneath the groups of lofty palms.
