Diary. 89 



brought back between 450 and 500 camels. All 

 the men had three camels each for their share, 

 besides the amount for the bosses. My Habr 

 Unis men are very cheery over it, for the Rer 

 Harun are their biggest enemies and killed the 

 chief of their section (Sultan Nur's section) of 

 the Habr Unis last year. They say that nearly 

 100 (counting cubs) of the Ogaden, were killed, 

 but this, like all despatches, is probably nearly 

 true when divided by three. 



28th Makch, Wednesday. — Marched to Dera 

 Godli in the morning. After breakfast Hassan 

 came to say he had seen aD aoul buck close by. 

 Stalked him in good ground, got to eighty yards, 

 and shot him just behind shoulder. Bullet came 

 out other side just in front of hip (303 Jeffery). 

 Marched to Nasia in afternoon ; saw another good 

 buck aoul, had to run up a slope as he was 

 moving off ; got an easy standing shot, eighty 

 yards (fired standing), and made a miss over his 

 back, and missed him again at about 350 yards. 

 People here say Abyssinians have attacked Lord 

 Delamere's party and killed some of his men. 

 Wonder if it was Dasali's party on their way 

 back.
