Went with him and a certain butcher, Akkerman, to the mountain and examined everything carefully. In the evening travelled for two hours up the ridge of the Comsberg to the stock-farm now belonging to Cloete.

Cool but clear. Wind wouth-easterly. Calm in the evening.
Thermometer: 60-80-75.
N.B. Looking superficially at the iron-stones of this mountain one would take them to be the product of volcanic action; but there is no crater.
