the rest of the pack went off. After a run T 

 came up to the last of them standing about 180

 run.

 no hhubber there. Saw two oryx ; could not get a 

 shot. Saw five koodoo' does, one gerenouh buck ; 

 got a shot at him at fifty yards, through thick

 the ground well short of him. Open a new book 

 to-morrow. I hope with better luck. Man from 

 Gabridaii, one march, with hhubber of five lions, 

 who killed one doukey last night.
