THE REDISCOVERED COUNTRY 121 



back, and I got her at 215 yards. This made my pair. 

 Hiked back along the river and sent out men hastily, 

 for it was now near dark. 



Saw little game, and no game trails going to the water 

 at the river! So there must be water out on the plains. 

 Many grouse, however, and some green parrots and 

 gray monkeys. A Baganda man, named Maliyabwana 

 ("the white man's money"), brought in a long string 

 of fish. 



Morning, 63; noon, 73; night, 70. 



August 22. — Last night Memba Sasa reported with 

 slight fever. Gave him quinine, and told him to lie by 

 to-day. Instructed Ali to pick me out a porter to visit 

 lion kills with me, and added, "one who will not run 

 away." Overheard the following: 



Ali: "You will carry the hwana^s other gun. If you 

 run away you will get kiboko; if you do not run away 

 you will get three rupees. If the lion makes kalele, do 

 not run away; the bwana will kill him. If the lion runs 

 at you, do not run away; the bwana will kill him. The 

 bwana has killed many lions. Bass ! " 



Sent back all the men but two to bring up a relay of 

 goods from the last camp — "Dolo's Camp." 



I myself started for the lion bait just before day- 

 light, shouting as I passed a command for the tem- 

 porary gunbearer to follow. I heard him behind me, 

 but did not look back at him for a mile or so. Then, 

 behold! It was Memba Sasa!
