And I saw Table Bay, so named for its levelness.

I saw the Castle--built by the Dutch East India Company three hundred years ago--where the Commanding General lives; I saw St.Simon's Bay, where the Admiral lives.

I saw the Government, also the Parliament, where they quarreled in two languages when I was there, and agreed in none.

I saw the club.

I saw and explored the beautiful sea-girt drives that wind about the mountains and through the paradise where the villas are: Also I saw some of the fine old Dutch mansions, pleasant homes of the early times, pleasant homes to-day, and enjoyed the privilege of their hospitalities.
And just before I sailed I saw in one of them a quaint old picture which was a link in a curious romance--a picture of a pale, intellectual young man in a pink coat with a high black collar.
