Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Visit to the Indians on the Frontiers of Chili
When we left Port Natal, on the 25th of March 1838, for Port Elizabeth, it was solely with the view of making arrangements for transporting, ao cording to previous agreement, the natives residing at Hambanarti to some spot on the colonial fron tier where the same plans for their spiritual in struction might be carried on, without the appro hension of further interruption. Although no time was lost on our arrival in commencing the necessary preparations, it soon appeared that the pecuniary difficulties which beset this project were of such a nature as to convince me that it was totally impracticable, at least with my unassisted means - from necessity, therefore, it was with much reluctance given up. Had it been otherwise, all my efforts would have been fruitless, as on our arrival at Roudebosck near Cape Town on the 5th of May, accounts were received from the Rev. F. Owen of a very distressing nature, clearly shew ing that all the di?iculties and disappointments which I had met with in the attempt to effect the desired location had been altogether providential.
