Compelled to Go Into Camp Wfthoss water CT Rations-CerrssDend- ent Chased By Lions
 On Return.

Naivasha. Sunday. July 18.-Theo- dore Roosevelt and his party had not been expected to reach 6aigai-Sai be- fore the goth instant. but having had in the Sotak and Guiso Myrio country, they decided to come to the lake and try for hippopotami.
 The last few days on the way to Saigai-Sai the party had to make long marches over a practically waterless country, and once when they reached water hole they had been making for. they found it was absolutely dry. Therefore the party had to go into camp without water. It was found here also that the food supplies had almost given out. and Europeans and natives alike had to go on half ra- tions.
 The party reached the farm on the morning of July IF but found that Commander Attenborough. the owner. had gone over to Naivasha for sup piles. Mir. Roosevelt. however, was not disturbed by this. and the scien- lists were soon busy with their guns collecting birds and mammals. The camp was pitched on the lake shore, which is densely fringed with papyrus, thorn trees and brush. The camp. was very sandy and dusty. On the 14th tho correspondent rode twenty five miles on bicycle to the camp and was warmly greeted by the scientists and MT. Tarleton. MT. Roosevelt and Kermit were out In q launch shooting hippopotami with Commander Attenborough. H. w. At tenborouxh. his brother. and MT. Cum ningham, and did not return until sun set.
 The following day. MT. Roosevelt. Kermit, the Attenboroughs, MT. Cum ninRham and the correspondent went out in the launch after hippopotami. We had the extreme good fortune of witnessing a very sportivefhunt. MT |. Roosevelt made fine shots and bagged very large hippopotamus. In most sportsmanlike manner, shooting 1t from a small and frail rowboat at close quarters at the moment the
 beast was charging.
 As the day was drawing to close we returned to camp ana everyone was loud in their praise of Mir. Roose- velt's fine shooting.
 The scientists have bagged some fine mammals. monkeys and birds. and Kermit Roosevelt also has secur- ed his hippopotamus.
 Saigai-Sai has consequently proved very successful camping place. Mir. Tarleton rode into Naivasha by moonlight few nights later and was followed for some miles by five lions. | The route around the lake Is infested with lions, and there Is every chance of the party having some sport when | they come in. The correspondent was chased in at night by three lions on
 the same road recently.
 Mir. Tarieton has gone down to Mai robi to arrange for the expeditions
 ''safari' out to Kenia and Nyeri. The party will leave Nairobi August 1t and expects to be away six weeks
 They will use some fifty donkeys as
 transports in addition to the 200 por-
 ters. They hope to get few ele- l phants at Kenia.
