134 TWO DIANAS IN SOMALILAND 
After the epidermis is removed, the hide, when 
polished, comes up like clouded amber, and makes 
the most exquisite top for a table, of which the four 
feet form the base. In my worry at the time I neg- 
lected to measure the rhinoceros as he lay, but in any 
case we were quite unable to move him. I afterwards 
took the dimensions of the horns, and the length of 
the anterior was sixteen inches, the posterior being at 
seven. I could not settle in that camp again, nor hunt 
with any happiness. As soon as Cecily was well 
enough to trek we struck camp, and held on in the 
direction of Galadi, wherever that might be.
