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 MASAILAND TO THE BORDERS OF KIKUYU leave their father's kraal for that of the moran. They wore a kid-skin garment, which covered them from the shoulders to the thighs, and their heads were decked with two long ostrich feathers and the skins of several little birds. Contrary to our expectations, the natives brought a good many oxen for sale, and soon the camp was the scene of great activity. This was very irksome to me, as I had for some little time been feeling very un- well. Even in Turuka I had had a good deal of pain, and to-day my symptoms took an acute form, so that, in spite of the great heat in the tent, I had to take to my bed. This was, though I did not know it then, the be- ginning of dysentery and of a long, weary time of suffering for me. We pressed on, on August 24, accompanied by a number of Masai women carrying the loads of some of the porters. Small and thin though they were, these natives had wonderful powers.
