The Story of Paul Boyton

CHAPTER VI
10/71

Besides the oxen and fifteen wagons, was a mule team with the officers in charge.

Three days after leaving Cape Town, the train drove into Wellington, fifty miles north.

Soon after they entered the mountain, Bain's Kloof.

They had great difficulty passing over this road through the mountains.
Frequently they were obliged to double the ox teams on a single wagon in order to climb some steep ascent.

The scenery through the mountains was exceedingly wild and picturesque, and the Hottentot driver with whom Paul was conversing, assured him that far away in the mountain tops were leopards and fierce baboons.
