The power of vision in those trackers is not confined to things near; they can see long distance objects with great acuteness, and they are always on the look out. They pointed one day to the opposite side of a swamp more than a mile wide, where, they said, were two horses with saddles on, tied up to a fence. To talk of seeing a saddle on horse’s back, when none of us whites could see either horses or fence, sounded like a joke.
