AUTHOR OF
"THE TESTIMONY OF TRADITION"
"Sometimes ... it seems that the stones are really
speaking--speaking of the old things, of the time when the strange
fishes and animals lived that are turned into stone now, and the
lakes were here; and then of the time when the little Bushmen lived
here, so small and so ugly, and used to sleep in the wild dog
holes, and in the 'sloots,' and eat snakes, and shoot the bucks
with their poisoned arrows ... Now the Boers have shot them all, so
that we never see a little yellow face peeping out among the stones
... And the wild bucks have gone, and those days, and we are
here."--WALDO, in _The Story of an African Farm._
