. Two African trips, with notes and suggestions on big game preservation in Africa; . him across the rivertowards Mount Kenia, accompanied by an askari, to lookfor the tracks of elands. According to their account, theywere shot at by a party of Wa-kikuyu, and one arrowpassed through Darotas breeches, fortunately withoutbreaking his skin. The Wa-kikuyu have generally provedthemselves troublesome to travellers. The reason of thisprobably is that, being cultivators, they have constantlybeen raided for food by passing caravans. The game on these plains attracts large numbers oflions, and I suppose that more of these animals have beenkilled near Lukenia crossing than at any other single spotin Africa. I have lately received a letter from a friend whohas been following our footsteps, and who describes seeinga band of eleven all together, close to the place where theabove-mentioned water-buck was killed, so to speak, at ourback-door. Being night-rovers, it is a matter of luck toencounter them in the daytime, and many men who havebeen long in the country have failed to do so..

We tried to stone him out, but hewould not show. This made us and our Somali huntersvery keen. There were many lions about, but it was invain that we tried to follow up tracks, the ground alwaysproving too hard; but with the help of God, as
