Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scenes and Adventures in Great Namaqualand
Supply of water, as when the venerable Barnabas Shaw passed so many years before. Upwards of a hundred and twenty families lie scattered about the neighbourhood, chic?y behind the mountain, who raise and ship a considerable quantity of grain for Cape Town through St. Helena Bay. Here let me remark, that, generally speaking, we found the Boers fairly hospitable as a race, especially if cleverly managed; but the fol lowing description, though taken from a standard work, is so overstrained, that I never saw anything approaching to it: A stranger has only to open the door, shake hands with the master, kiss the mistress! Seat himself, and he is then completely at home.
