throughout the night making easy the spoor1ng OF
fresh tracks and softening dry grass and twigs until
ones footsteps were noiseless.
From the moment we left camp advance
slow and cautious on foot behind us the gunbearers
with our spare rifles behind them the sices leading

crouch most of the time where each turn of bush
might bring face to face at ann length with any
old jungle warrior which, unless one lead is particu
ary well placed will carry in his system as much OF
it comfortably pack in bandoeer.
We moved down river toward the swamp, and out
toward the wide alka plain that extends south from
the swamp four miles, to Lake Natron.
And it bit odd going out in such
internal country; for only the day before each of
had vowed that any fool who liked could go after
rhno and buffalo in the thorn jungle of the river and
the tall grass and vine -tange of the swamp but we
would have of it. And there were we

out to the open to feed, retired to the more Sc

end of the swamp that found the first spoor made
since the rain had stopped.
On the Spoor of Rhino
RUT it was a spoor worth while a giant rhino
- whose footprints in the soft ground were a full
twelve inches in diameter. Evidently he had been
for nights ramble and feed in the plain, and had
probably entered the swamp more than half an
hour ahead of us.
Leaving mules and sces outside, we at once
started into the swamp on his spoor, easy to follow
highway, Outram in the lead | next, and then
Judd. Sometimes the rhno followed paths some
times crushed haphazard through the tangle Just
the fancy struck him. Luckily the wind quarter
