■shots, the fourth when ■wounded pursued Mahommed Seiff, who, how- 

 ever, dexterous as a Toreador, sprang aside, giving me the opportunity 

 of freeing him from his assailant hy a fortunate shot in the neck. 

 Jamtary 19. — Guaso Nyuki. 3 buffaloes. 



21. — 2 buffaloes, 1 zebra. 



22. — 5 buffaloes. One of the bulls hit escaped, another evinced an 

 especially pugnacious disposition. I knocked him over by a ball in 

 the neck. 



23. — Guaso Nyuki. 1 rhinoceros, 1 buffalo, 1 water-buck. The 

 buffalo I had previously wounded a few days before, and as soon as it 

 saw me it charged ; I killed him at 5 paces with a ball through the 

 neck. 



24. — Guaso Nyuki. 2 rhinoceroses, 4 buffaloes. Both rhino- 

 ceroses charged as soon as they had sighted me; the one I brought 

 down with a ball through its neck ; the attack of the other was so 

 sudden and unexpected that I had barely time to fire off' the other 

 barrel at its lowered head. This was the first time that I was suc- 

 cessful with a shot right in the face. 



25. — Guaso Nyuki. 4 buffaloes. 



26. — 1 rhinoceros, 3 buffaloes, 1 hartebeest. One of the buffaloes 

 pressed me closely in the Leleshwa jungle, and kept to his course, 

 even after being hit twice (in the neck). His breath, however, failed 

 him just in time, and he fell down dead at my feet. I lost 3 wounded 

 buffaloes in the close jungle. I noticed this day, as often before, that 

 buffaloes frequently remain by their wounded comrades, and guard 

 them till they expire. 



27. — Guaso Nyuki. 2 buffaloes, 1 rhinoceros. One of the two 

 buffaloes charged my men from a distance of at least 500 paces. I 

 intercepted him, and twice brought him on his knees, but each time 

 he was speedily on his legs and after my people. Only after 3 more 

 balls did I manage to kill him. 



28. — Guaso Nyuki. 2 buffaloes. , 



29. — 3 buffaloes, 2 hartebeests. 



30. — 2 rhinoceroses, 4 buffaloes (2 with both barrels). 



31. — 2 rhinoceroses, 5 buffaloes, 2 zebras, and lost 2 wounded 

 buffaloes.

 ceros with a ball in the forehead.
