hame and myself bedded down in the
camp. We were all up and about at
sunrise, for our train was due to
leave for Nairobi at 8 o'clock. We
arrived at Nairobi at noon, and
found Lord Dclamere and great
many officials and settlers on the
platform to greet Colonel Roosevelt
on his return after such a long alb
sence.
he stood chatting with Lord Della
mere for some time, arranging the
details of his hunt with him after
Bongo and giant pig at Micro in
December. And then he drove off to
McMilian's house, where he was to
be guest while in Nairobi.
Kermit and Tarlton arrived the
following morning, having ridden
down from Nakuru in freight
train. They had done some success
full hunting during the two or three
days they had remained at Nakuru.
All the members of the expedition
spoke wistfully Of Kermt's astound-
ing feats of endurance on safari. 1t
seemed that he could ieven wear
down such tried old veterans as
Cunninghame and Tarlton. The
latter was looking very much the
worse for his hard hunting in COM
pany with Kermit.
According to Tarlton, Kermit alb
solutely did not know the meaning
of the word "fear,' and no hard
ship was too great for him. Dis
lance was no obstacle, and he would
as soon travel 40 miles day as 20.
His foot running had greatly i'm
pressed Tariton, and indeed every
one in the expedition; and on more
than one occasion Kermit had run
down on foot fleet-footed antelope
or gazelle, and then killed them
after long chase across the sun
burned plain.
On Monday, Oct. 25, we all left
Nairobi for Londiani.
We reached Nakuru at 3 O'Clock
in the morning, and here collected
our porters and horses. Cunning
hame, Tarlton and worked all
through the small hours of the
morning to see that they were all
got onto the train. At daybreak
we reached Molo, on the summit Of
the Mau Escarpment, and at an alti-
tude Of $500 feet above the sea level
This is the highest point on the
Uganda Railway. The railway up
to this opoint passes through great
forests and through occasional open
glades. The air was fresh and
bracing. and had cold snap to it.
From the Mau Summit we ran down
through fine open grass plains,
