menes Of smaller game as the bag for
the first hunting expedition. Col.
Roosevelt and his party rested Sunday
at Wami, near Kapsti. and resumed
their hunt today their objective being
giraffe, none OF which has yet been
seen. The hides OF the lions secured
have all been sent to Mombasa for
treatment at the plant established for
that purpose.
Col. Roosevelt has three lion and one
lioness skins TO show for his prowess
with the rice. while Kermit's prize Is
a splendid specimen OF the lioness.
The experts declare that all of the
lions killed are larger than usual and
praise Col. Roosevelt and Kermit as
magnificent hunters. That they are
high In the graces of the natives Is
indicated by the rivalry among the
beaters to accompany them when they
start on their trips. All hands want
TO go along. and II is almost neces-
sary to use force to restrain those
ordered TO remain in camp. rather

Following is what he says about the
savages:
The Seris are commonly reported
to be cannibals. though there is no
conclusive evidence of their having
eaten human flesh. But II is well
known that they devour their flesh
food raw and that they are subject to

Americans have been killed by the
Seris on Tiburon. two within the last
four years. In retaliation for these
murders the Mexican government has
sent soldiers TO the island who have
killed many Of the sayages."
