It seems to yield this gum only in the rainy season, and now all the trees are full of sap and gum.
_21st February, 1867._--A night with loud and near thunder, and much heavy rain, which came through the boys' sheds.

Roads all plashy or running with water, oozes full, and rivulets overflowing; rocks of dolomite jutting out here and there.

I noticed growing here a spikenard-looking shrub, six feet high, and a foot in diameter.

The path led us west against my will.

I found one going north; but the boys pretended that they did not see my mark, and went west, evidently afraid of incurring Moamba's displeasure by passing him.
