Of course their trousers were of dressed sheep-skin, wide--like the trousers of all young boors--and they also wore jackets and "feldt-schoenen," and broad-brimmed white hats.

Hans carried a light fowling-piece, while Hendrik's gun was a stout rifle of the kind known as a "yager"-- an excellent gun for large game.

In this piece Hendrik had great pride, and had learnt to drive a nail with it at nearly a hundred paces.

Hendrik was _par excellence_ the marksman of the party.
Each of the boys also carried a large crescent-shaped powder-horn, with a pouch for bullets; and over the saddle of each was strapped the robe or kaross, differing only from their father's in that his was of the rarer leopard-skin, while theirs were a commoner sort, one of antelope, and the other of jackal-skin.

Little Jan also wore wide trousers, jacket, "feldt-schoenen," and broad-brimmed beaver,--in fact, Jan, although scarce a yard high, was, in point of costume, a type of his father,--a diminutive type of the boor.
