A Hunt With True 'Ndorobo.
We spent several days vainly hunting
bongo in the dense mountain forests, with
half dozen 'Ndorobo. These were true
'Ndorobo, who never cultivate the ground,
living in the deep forests on wild honey and
game. 1t has been said that they hunt but
little, and only elephant and rhino; but this
is not correct as regards the 'Ndorobo in
question.
They were all clad in short cloaks of the
skin of the tree hyrax; hyrax monkey, bon
go and forest hog, the only game of the cool,
wet forest, were all habitually killed by
them. They also occasionally killed rhino
and buffalo, finding the former, because it
must occasionally be attacked in the open,
the more dangerous OF the two; twice Della
mere had come across small communities of
'Ndorobo literally starving because the
strong man, the chief hunter, the breadwin-
ner, had been killed by rhino which he had
attacked
The headman of those with US, who was
named Mel-el-lek, had himself been fearfully
injured by wounded buffalo; and the faith
er of another one who was with us had been
killed by balloons which had rallied to the
aid of one which he was trying to kill with
his knobkerry.
Usually they did not venture to NEEDLE
with the lions which they found on the edge
of the forest, or with the leopards which oc-
casionally dwelt in the deep woods but once
Mel-el-lek killed leopard with poisoned
arrow from tree, and once whole party
of them attacked and killed with their pois-
oned arrows lion which had slain cow
buffalo near the forest.
On another occasion lion in it's turn
were living just as palaeolithic man lived in
Europe, ages ago.
Some Unusual Tree Climbing.
Their arms were bows and arrows, the ar
rows being carried in skin quivers, and the
bows, which were strung with zebra gut,
being swathed in strips of hide. When rest
ing they often stood on one leg, like storks
Their eyesight was marvellous, and they
were extremely skillful alike in tracking and
in seeing game. They threaded their way
through the forest .noiselessly and at speed.
and were extraordinary climbers.
They were continually climbing trees to
get at the hyrax, and once when big black
and white Colobus monkey which had shot
lodged in the top of giant cedar one of
them assembled and brought it down with
matter-of-course indifference. He cut down
sapling, Is feet long, with the stub of a
stout branch left on as hook, and for a
rope used section of vine which he broke
and twisted into flexibility Then festooned
with all his belongings, he made the ascent.
There was a tall olive, so or 80 feet high.
close to the cedar, and up this he went.
From its topmost branches, where only a
monkey or a 'Ndorobo could have felt at
home, he reached his sapling over to the
lowest limb of the giant cedar, and hooked
it on; and then crawled across on this dizzy
bridge. Up he went, got the monkey, re-
crossed the bridge, and climbed uown again,
quite unconcerned.
