Hoping to expand his mission Hahn undertook two journeys to the north. With the Rev. Johannes Rath he set out for Ovamboland on 20.5.1857 on an exploratory expedition of four months. He reached Ondonga but, fearing for their lives, the party fled because of the hostility of the natives." - DSAB I, p. 342 Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
