Truey was habited in a skirt of blue woollen stuff, with a neat bodice elaborately stitched and embroidered after the Dutch fashion, and over her fair locks she wore a light sun-hat of straw with a ribbon and strings.

Totty was very plainly attired in strong homespun, without any head-dress.

As for Swartboy, a pair of old leathern "crackers" and a striped shirt were all the clothing he carried, beside his sheep-skin kaross.

Such were the costumes of our travellers.
For full twenty miles the plain was wasted bare.

Not a bite could the beasts obtain, and water there was none.
