2 26 Wanderings in Eastern Africa. 
Masai language. Stay with me, I say, and I will give 
you fifty dollars a year." This is two more than we 
gave the man ourselves, and very high wages they 
were for servants in this country. I don't believe he 
would have given such money, but this was the bait 
he held out to the man. But, No," said Wuledi, 'T 
must go. What you say may be true, I don't know what 
has happened to my masters since I left them, but I

and held it tight, I can't let you have the gun," he 
returned, " it is not mine. Besides we don't know all 
yet ; the Wazungu may not be dead." So the good,

Wuledi left Mambrui on Friday the nth inst., and 
Dadi, with many misgivings, left with him. They 
travelled night and day. Dadi's terror increased with

saw, was Kori. At last Wuledi said, '' He made me 
afraid." On Sunday night they slept a few hours 
somewhere, not far off, so reached us early this 
morning.
