174 
ON SAFARI 
and the rest, to wander on the depopulated hills of 
England. 
As a fitting finale to this, the most luckless day of a 
lifetime, there followed a nightmare. During the small 
hours there occurred in dreams an attack on our camp 
by yelling Masai, whose assegais came hurtling through 
the canvas walls and stuck quivering in the earth 
around. On awakening I found myself sprawling on the 
ground-sheet, seeking for a gun. W-had reported 
seeing during the day some Masai cattle by the lake¬ 
side. Their presence there had puzzled us, as all the 
Masai should now be in the “ Reserve,” fifty miles away. 
Hence these woes.
