282 THE REDISCOVERED COUNTRY 



Nevertheless, here we were! It is always that way 

 with hunters ' good resolutions. 



After tea we called up the Wanderobo for a shauri. 

 The Wanderobo are little wild men, forest dwellers, 

 who have no houses, no crops, no cattle; whose sole 

 possessions are a few wire ornaments, their bows and 

 arrows, skin robes, and a wonderful instinctive knowledge 

 of the woods. These four knew Cuninghame of old 

 and were willing to trust him. Very few people ever 

 get to see them at all. They agreed that they should 

 go scouting in different directions to-morrow, on the 

 search for fresh tracks, while we awaited in camp for 

 the first report.
