British want it for themselves.
But though they did'not trek to
the north there was an exodus of
them to the northwest betweon 1874
and 1880. It was a terrible journey,
for they crossed the thirst lands of
the Kalihari and suffered great pri-

their slow ox teams till at last they
reached Angola.
the There they settled down at a place
the called Huilla on a lofty plateau
ing among the mountains. The first par-

tty numbering 270 souls with 50 servants

tell with them 3,000 sheep and goats;
iti- and so they began stock -raising in
Portuguese territory. A considerable

and litter in this lofty and beautiful coun-
try. They are still living among the
mountains about eighty miles east of
Mossainedes. Europeans who have

er- high praise of their little settle -
