Elephant-hunting in east equatorial Africa; Elephant-hunting in east equatorial Africa; being an account of three years' ivory-hunting under Mount Kenia and among the Ndorobo savages of the Lorogi Mountains, including a trip to the north end of Lake Rudolph elephanthuntingi00neum Year: 1898 FROM EL BOGOI TO LAKE RUDOLPH 243 were built among the tree-stems, with no attempt at a clearing. In the morning we descended, early, the almost perpendicular face of the range by a fairly well-beaten path to my old ' lucky camp,' as I called it, in a glade at the foot, whence I had hunted the year before and bagged several fine bulls. On the way we passed through the present abode of Lesiat's Ndorobo Encampment in the Subugo' Forest on the LoROGi Mountains. (P'rom a Pliotograph by the .Vl thok.) clan, in a romantic gorge near the mountain's base, the funny little untidy huts picturesquely stuck here and there where space could be found among great rocks and trees. A bevy of comely ' dittos ' (damsels) greeted me with friendly hand- shakes. Lcsiat himself, the ' laigvvanane' (or headman), as they called him, was out. However, they all told me that elephants were about again and had been seen the previous day—news which Lesiat himself confirmed in the evening.
