In that land of which we have so many records of early and high civilisation, and also such strong evidences of present barbarism, -the land of which we know so much and so little, -the land where Nature exhibits some of her most wonderful creations and greatest contrasts, and where she is also prolific in the great forms of animal and vegetable life, -there, my young reader, let us wander once more. Let us return to Africa, and encounter new scenes in company with old friends. On the banks of the Limpopo brightly blazes a hunter's fire, around which the reader may behold three distinct circles of animated beings. The largest is composed of horses, the second of dogs, and the lesser or inner one, of young men, whom many of my readers will recognise as old acquaintances.
