FOOTNOTES:
[1] Within the last few years the competition between the “Union Steamship Co.” and “Donald Currie and Co.” has reduced the length of the voyage from Southampton to Cape Town, viâ Madeira, to eighteen or twenty days.
[2] The Dutch spoken by most of the South African farmers is not pure, as in Europe; it is a mixture of English, Low-German, French, &c. That, however, which is spoken by the more educated Dutchmen in Cape Town, Bloemfontein, and other towns, is for the most part very good.
[3] I use the term “murderous propensity” advisedly, as the cobra is quite unable to devour what it has thus destroyed.
[4] “Bas,” a lord, a master: “Morena” ruler.
