afternoon in watching the birds on the lake and bathing, and 
felt as if I should like to spend days pottering about in that 
way. 
In the morning, after a very chilly night, though my 
guides (two natives of Janjai) were inclined to hang fire on 
account of the cold and heavy dew, we started pretty early. 
Keeping still along the edge of the grass country we ascended

no game, we came upon where a single bull elephant had 
passed the day before. Its tracks soon entered the cover. 
We persevered for a long time on its spoor through frightful 
jungle, and at last got that of the night before ; but it kept 
steadily ascending towards Kilimara, and finally the guides 
refused to go farther and suggested striking back towards the
