174 



ON SAFARI 



and the rest, to wander on the depopulated hills of 

 Enoiand. 



As a fitting finale to this, the most luckless day of a 

 lifetime, there followed a nightmare. During the small 

 hours there occurred in dreams an attack on our camp 

 by yelling Masai, whose assegais came hurtling through 

 the canvas walls and stuck cj^uivering in the earth 

 around. On awakening I found myself sprawling on the 



ground-sheet, seeking for a gun. W had reported 



seeing during the day some Masai cattle by the lake- 

 side. Their presence there had puzzled us, as all the 

 Masai should now be in the " Reserve," fifty miles away. 

 Hence these woes.
