the rifles of Colonel Roosevelt
and Kermit during the first two
weeks of their sojourn. They
spend some time at Nairobi and
Kijabe and then start on their
first prolonged safari across
the "thirst belt" in Sotik. The
procession of porters, gunbear
ers, personal servants and
grooms ia fully a quarter of a
mile long.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
The first five days’ shooting In the
| Kotik had brought fourteen or more
animals to Theodore Roosevelt’s
own gun, to say nothing of those
that fell to Kermlt’s or those of the
three naturalists.
Colonel Roosevelt had shot only
animals that were wanted for the
museum or for food, although a
great many more could have bCen
killed If It had been so desired. But
nothing was ever wantonly shot or
butchered during the whole course
of thrtt expedition In Africa. In
cluded in the colonel's bag were
a lioness, a hyena, wart-hog, two
elands, two topi, two zebras and a
nine-foot python. Kermit had kill
ed two cheetah and a lion, amongst
other animals.
It was during these six weeks
that Colonel Roosevelt had some o£
his most Interesting adventures,
and as the days progressed the col
lection of specimens assumed gi
gantic proportions. Before they fi
nally left the Sotik country for Sai
ga-Sal farm on Lake Natvasha, they
had added to the first five days’ list
no less than three giraffes, six or
more topi, six rhinos, three cheec
tahs and four lions and lionesses.
In forwarding some more homo
mall out to Theodore Roosevelt, I
had told him that I was leaving, ac
cording to prearranged plans, for
Entebbe in Uganda; also that Wil
liams, who had been a fellow-guest
at McMillan’s Juja farm, had been
badly mauled by a lion which he had
.mortally wounded and had then
charged him, and that a man named
Baker, whom ho had alio met, had
been killed by an elephant; and,
finally, that I was going out on a
lion hunt at Lake Nalvasha before
proceeding to Uganda.
My Masai runner brought me
back the following letter from Col
onel Roosevelt, written from one of
the camps In the Sotik countrv:
July 1, 1909.
"Dear Foran:
“I suppose you will be gone when
this reaches Natvasha, but send It
on the off chance. I hope you got
your lion, and thnt you will thor
oughly enjoy your Nyanza trip. I
am very sorry to hear about Wil
liams; and have held him up as an
awful—and much needed—example
to Kermit. lam even more sorry to
hear about poor Mrs. Baker's hus
band.
< "Always vours.
“THEODORE ROOSEVELT.”
Many amusing letters were being
received by Colonel Roosevelt from
unknown correspondents from all
over America, and even from Eu
rope. One man to Colonel
Roosevelt to protest against his
shooting such harmless and beauti
ful creatures as rhinoceros. When
Colonel Roosevelt read this letter,
lie remarked to me:
“I should Just like the writer to
be turned loose in a high-walled en
closure with one of these 'harmless
and beautiful" creatures! I think he
would quickly change his mind
about both qualities.''

CHAPTER IX.
Hippopatamus Hunting at Saigai-
Sai.
The expedition had arrived at
Salgai-Sai, a fine farm that be
longed to Commander Frederick
Attenborough, R. N., and his
brother, on July 12, after a most
wonderfully successful shooting
trip in the Sotik country and on the
Loietta Plains.
It had been a very hard trek dur
ing, the last two days of the Journey
down to Lake Naivasha, owing to
the absence of water at the first
camping place. In consequence of
this shortage of an absolute neces
sity, the march had continued dur
ing the night withSbarely a stop, ex
cept for brief rests en route, until
Saigal-Sal farm had been reached.
The huge tent-town of the expe
dition was pitched in a truly Ideal
spot. They had selected an open
stretch of grass-land which was
surrounded on all sides by acacia
thorn trees and thorny scrub. One
hundred and fifty yards away was
the lake, bordered by thick papyrus
reeds and dense /bushes of long
thorns. The scrub and papyrus
reeds were cut up in all directions
by hippopotmus tracks.
The chattering of apes In the
trees and tho shrill hut tuneful
twitter of bird-talk, combined with
the gentle lap of the waters of the
lake, alone disturbed the serenity
of that peaceful scene.
Heller was engaged upon the
groat task of preparing the head
and hide of a giant hippopotamus,
which Kermit had killed on July
13. Tarlton was soon working
strenuously over the issuance of
stores to the porters and superin
tending the erection of a grass
thatched hut for the accommoda
tion of Dawson and myself.
They all looked very bronzed and
well, and they were full of stories of
the wonderful experiences that had
befallen them in thq Sotik country.
We lunched together in the wel
come shade of a roomy grass-that
ched shed that had been erected as
a mess house. The tents of the Eu
ropean personnel of the expedition
had been placed In a long line, fac
ing the gorgeous beauty of Lake
Nalvasha. while over Colonel Roose
velt’s tent lazily floated the inevi
table American flag.
After lunch Tarlton and I went
off to shoot owls for Mearns, and
we managed to secure some rare
and fine specimens which greatly
delighted the doctor. After tea. I
accompanied Lorlng when he went
out to see his traps for small mam
mals. i
Just as the sun was dipping to |
meet the western horizon over the
placid waters of the lake, Colonel
Roosevelt, Kermit and Cunning
hame returned to cafnp after an un
successful day’s hunt after hippo.
“Hullo, old Africa!" he shouted to
me, as I approached the landing
stage to welcome him. “We liad-no
luck today. We saw two hippos in
deep water, and hit them both, but
we must have missed the brain, for
we lost them.”
“Father hit his in the head, at a
distance of a hundred yards,” Ker
niit Interposed, ruefully. "But he
did not get much chance of a good
shot, and must-Tmve hit him too
low between the eyes.”
“But we’re going out again after
them tomorrow morning at' day
break," Colonel Roosevelt declared,
and his teeth snapped close over
tho words. "Come along with us and
see the fun, Old Africa.”
We were up betimes and, after a
hurried breakfast. Colonel Roose
velt, Kermit, Dawson and myself
started off rom ramp to Join the
two Attenboroughs at the landing
stage below their house. We found
Cunnlnghnme and Roosevelt's two
hosts already in the launch, with a
full head of steam up. >
A few minutes later we had em
barked. cast loose from tho pier
and were steaming across the lake
toward the mouth of the Morendat
river—a spot some nine miles dis
tant from the camp.
Just as we came In sight of the
mouth of the river, the sharp-eyed
Commander Attenborough spied a
large hippo walking along the edge
of the papyrus reeds at the distant
end of a little bay. We headed the
launch straight for it. and slowed

down as we reached the water-lilies
and weeds that protected the edge
of the papyrus.
Colonel Roosevelt. Kermit and
Cunninghame rapidly transferred
themselves to Vhe small rowing
boat, which we had been towing
and in which sat three porters who
could use the oars, and started to
row In the direction of the hippo.
By this time It had disappeared in
the reeds.
