Krönlein's Manuscript, pp. 34, 35.) * IT is said that when Heitsi Eibip was travelling about with his family, they came to a valley in which the raisin-tree was ripe, and he was there attacked by a severe illness. Then his young (second) wife said, "This brave one is taken ill on account of these raisins; death is here at the place." The old man (Heitsi Eibip), however, told his son ! Urisip (the whitish one), "I shall not live, I feel it; thou must, therefore, cover me when I am dead with soft stones." And he spoke further, "This is the thing which I order you to do :-'Of the raisin-trees of this valley ye shall not eat. For if ye eat of them I shall infect you, and ye will surely die in a similar way.'” His young wife said, "He is taken ill on account of the raisins of this valley. Let us bury him quickly, and let us go." *The is the cerebral click described in Note to Fable 27, p. 62. he died there, and was covered flatly with soft s according as he had commanded. Then they away from him. hen they had moved to another place, and were cking there, they heard always from the side ce they came a noise as of people eating raisins singing.

He did accordingly, and they came between the grave and Heitsi Eibip who, when he saw this, jumped down from the raisin-trees, and ran quickly, but was caught at the grave. Then he said: "Let me go! For I am a man who has been dead that I may not infect you!" But the young wife said, "Keep hold of the rogue!" So they brought him home, and from that day he was fresh and hale. m a German original Manuscript in Sir G. Grey's Library, H. C. Knudsen's "Notes on the Hottentots," pp. 7, 8.) the beginning there were two. One was blind, other was always hunting. This hunter found at a hole in the earth, from which game proceeded, 1 killed the young. The blind man, feeling and elling them, said, "They are not game, but cattle.” The blind man afterwards recovered his sight, and ing with the hunter to this hole, saw that they were ws with their calves. He then quickly built a aal (fence made of thorns) round them, and ointed himself, just as Hottentots (in their native ate) are still wont to do.
