About four miles from headquarters
towards the south, there was an arid patch
Of weld We took party to within mile
Of one Of the water holes and camped for
the night
After pitching our tents Jack took me to
the water hole, around which we found the
spoer Of different animals so fresh that II
was evident that the pool had been visited
by several the night before. Jack put IN
the powdered drug and stirred the water
thoroughly to make the solution. Several
Kafir boys were left around the hole TO
keep the animals off till near daybreak, by
fires and torches About an hour before
dawn, the natives came to our tents and
awakened US informing us that as soon as
the fires were put cat at the wafer hole
and they had retired some distance, fifteen
or twenty animals OF various sorts came
eagerly to drink.
This was Just the news Jack wanted
We had with us a party Of four, two Eng
llsh brothers and an American and his son
After a hssty breakfast, we all set out for
the water hole. When we came within three
hundred yards of the pool dark, shadowy
forms moved ahead of US on the weld We
spread out in a line and halted waiting for
the dawn to break, 50 that we could see to
shoot.
After resting twenty minutes the sudden
tropical moon revealed a group OF animals
