Discovery of lakes Rudolf and Stefanie; a narrative of Count Samuel Teleki's exploring & hunting expedition in eastern equatorial Africa in 1887 & 1888. 210 THROUGH MASAILAND TO THE BORDERS OF KIKUYU I was indeed well repaid for the small trouble I had taken, for below me lay the dark blue surface of the crater-lake, sur- rounded by steep but thickly overgrown walls of rock.
