THREE YEARS AFTER--LORD MILNER AT CAPE TOWN BEFORE THE WAR--MR.

CECIL RHODES AT GROOT SCHUURR--OTHER INTERESTING PERSONAGES "There are many echoes in the world, but few voices." GOETHE.
On May 6, 1899, we sailed from Southampton on the S.S._Norman_.

We purposed to spend a few months in Rhodesia, but such is the frailty of human plans that eventually we stayed in South Africa for one year and three months.
Dr.Jameson was our fellow-passenger to Cape Town, and with him we travelled up to Bulawayo, and passed five weeks there as the guests of Major Maurice Heaney.[13] Part of this time we spent on the veldt, far from civilization, sleeping in tents, and using riding ponies and mule waggons as transport.

I can recommend this life as a splendid cure for any who are run down or overworked.

The climate of Rhodesia in the month of June is perfection; rain is unknown, except as the accompaniment of occasional thunderstorms; and it is never too hot to be pleasant.
