After the thunder-storm which usually ushered in the night, the mor- 204 EXPEDITION INTO iiing"s had been always remarkably cool j and even during* the middle of the day the rang-e of the thermometer in the wag-g'ons had rarely exceeded 85". Before turning- to the southward, we crossed the Limpopo, and made an excursion of forty miles to the north-eastward, on horseback, with a desig-n of determining" the course assumed by this interesting* feature in the g-eography of Southern Africa. So far a...s it was possible to comprehend the descriptions g-iven by savag'es, which are not the clearest in the world, this river, after being* joined by another, called the Clabatz, or Balapatse, which rises in the Mural mountains, turns suddenly throug-h that chain, and flows into the unexplored country of the Babariri, towards Delag*oa, distant probably about tlu-ee hundred and fifty miles. This account is in a g"reat measure confirmed by information g-iven me by David Hume, an exceeding-ly clear-headed, observing* traveller, who has made several enterprising* journe3^s into the interior, in quest of the g-old-mines said to exist in the country of the Bakalaka.
