Discovery of lakes Rudolf and Stefanie; a narrative of Count Samuel Teleki's exploring & hunting expedition in eastern equatorial Africa in 1887 & 1888. 280 THROUGH TURKANA AND SUK nowhere else, and of which I give a sketch. The branches, standing out stiffly from the stem, struck us as especially notice- able. But for the leaf being different, this tree resembled a conifer. The day passed over in anxious expectation, and we gazed eagerly and ceaselessly towards the pass through which Qualla must come to bring the longed- for supplies. The three zebras had been devoured, skin, bones, and all, and hour after hour passed on without a sign of the relieving force. But at last towards evening the joyful sound of signal shots reached us from the distance, and a little later we saw cattle, goats, and sheep filing down the mountain slope towards us. Soon the valley echoed with the lowing of the cattle and the joyful shouts and friendly chatter of the men as they exchanged greetings and news. Qualla had accomplished the raid before daybreak, when the cattle were still all together in the kraal. On the sudden onset of our men, who began by driving off the herds minding the cattle, the natives, roused from their sleep, fled away in terror, so that no fighting took place in the village. The cattle were then driven off, Qualla following with a few men at a little distance to protect the rear. Not until two hours afterwards did the natives rally and pursue our men with the stolen cattle. They rushed boldly on, some two hundred in number, till they were about fifty paces off the rear-guard, but they could not stand. SKETCH OF A PECULIAR TREE MET WITH IN SUK.
