"Nothing unusual occurred on the day you left us. I was busy all the
afternoon in cutting `wait-a-bit' thorns for a kraal. Totty helped me
to drag them up, while Jan and Truey looked after the flock. The
animals did not stray out of the valley here, as the grass was good, and
they had had enough of trotting lately.
"Well--Totty and I got the kraal, as you see, all ready. So, when night
came, we drove the flock in; and, after milking the cow and getting our
supper, we all went to bed. We were precious tired, and all of us slept
soundly throughout the night without being disturbed. Both jackals and
hyenas came around, but we knew they would not break into that kraal."
Hans pointed to the circular enclosure of thorn-bushes, that had been
well constructed.
