Wamau, El Konono, and others, who are regarded as 
subject races. 
It is fortunate for the other tribes that the Masai 
and Wakuavi are at variance, and have been so for 
many generations. Many of the weaker tribes of 
Wakuavi have had to succumb to the Masai, but the

maintain their ground, and terrible are the conflicts 
which sometimes take place between (to speak figu- 
ratively) these lions and tigers. I could fill chapters

ples of religion ; so that where all is now war, desti- 
tution, degradation, and pollution ; peace, social com- 
fort, general prosperity, and virtue may prevail.
