Abstract
In November, 1836, Captain (afterwards Sir) James Edward Alexander was at Henkrees (29° S., 18° E.) on the southern side of the Orange River, South-West Africa, and sought for information as to what he might expect to find during his intended journey across Great Namaqualand. He says :— ‘A respectable old Bastaard lived at Henkrees, Balli by name; he was the owner of a thousand head of cattle, of many horses and sheep. … He also told me of great quantities of copper far up the Great Fish River, and of hills from which malleable iron could be cut out.
