If the Nairobi Turf Club and the

"7ERMIT and Mearns had been
TX out after spring-haas the
LII previous night, and had been
fairly successful shooting them
with the aid of lanterns. They had
not got back TO bed in camp until
after o'clock. We found Mearns
up and having breakfast, when we
reached camp after our unsuccessful
hunt after pelicans; Kermit, how
ever, was still sleeping off the
effects of his night-hunting ex
ertions.
After breakfast. Colonel Roosevelt,
Kermit and myself-having now Sc
cured a pair of oars for the boat
started out once more after the peli-
cans. The Colonel sat in the bow
with his rifle across his knees and a
shotgun at his side; Kermit sat in
the stern with two guns; while I
rowed and a native gun-bearer
steered for me.
Roosevelt made a very pretty shot
at two Egyptian geese, and dropped
them both; they were on the wing,
and it was a difficult shot. After we
had picked them up from the water,
we saw the pelicans. But this time
there were only two of them, instead
of four. AS we gradually neared
them, with as little noise as possible
