NOONTIME IN CAMP 
ant game ranger, a leader of scouts in the 
former “Yankee cow-puncher,” arrived with his safari, pitch¬ 
ing camp near our’s. He dined with us and gave much in¬ 
formation about localities for game. 
Hirsi, injured when thrown from his mule, is steadily 
growing worse; a big abscess forming on his arm. He had a 
high fever and constant pain while in the Embo country, but 
insisted on continuing his work. Later he wanted me to cut 
off the abscess, but we decided it best to wait until we reached 
Fort Hall, where there is a government hospital.
