At Bulawayo station we said good-bye to those friends who were leaving us. Sir B. L was returning to Kimberley to fetch his wife, and we were glad to learn that he had received a telegram with good news from her. Unfortunately soon after reaching England she had a relapse and died, to the great regret of her many friends in our party. There also we bade adieu to our genial com- panion and fellow trekker. Admiral M , who in spite of his deafness had been one of our most pleasant asso- ciates. We... also lost the society of A , who was now returning to Pietermaritzburg. I saw on the platform the kindly face of Sir William Wharton, the late Admiralty Hydrographer, who only reached as far as Cape Town, where he was taken ill with enteric fever, complicated with pneumonia, and died after a few days' illness. Our H train left for Salisbury punctually to time, and soon afterwards we were favoured with a most lovely 198 THROUGH SOUTH AFRICA tropical sunset. Sinking like an immense ball of gold in a burning copper sky, the sun presented a gorgeous spectacle as we saw it across the great c^n veldt; while the afterglow for the next quarter of an hour was superb, sending everybody into raptures over it.
