This, which is used as a dye-stuff, is found nowhere in the dry country to the south.

A large buffalo was wounded, and ran into the thickest part of the forest, bleeding profusely.

The young men went on his trail; and, though the vegetation was so dense that no one could have run more than a few yards, most of them went along quite carelessly, picking and eating a fruit of the melon family called Mponko.

When the animal heard them approach he always fled, shifting his stand and doubling on his course in the most cunning manner.

In other cases I have known them to turn back to a point a few yards from their own trail, and then lie down in a hollow waiting for the hunter to come up.
