tour of 1923, northern part - The journey [from Letaba] northwards through the Shingwedsi country was uneventful though interesting. On the Bubube River I saw a place where a rhinoceros had recently rubbed his horn against a tree, and had broken a bush, but we could not catch sight of the animal in the flesh. This was an interesting episode, being apparently the last time any traces of rhinos have been observed in that country, and I suppose this particular animal wandered into Portuguese territory, and was killed there.
