WE CAMP OPPOSITE MOUNT KENIA 363 district^ seemed deserted alike by men and animals, so that we were at last able to enjo}^ that rest in the wilderness for which we had longed so often in the previous weeks. Our arrival, of course, brought a little animation into the scene, and all were soon busily engaged in clearing a place for our camp, cutting down trees for the palisade necessary to our security, building huts for the men, stables for the nume- rous animals, and store-houses for the goods and the provi- sions we should have to collect for our further journey to Lake Baringo. We ourselves stuck to our tents, which we preferred to a hut as we suffered so much less from vermin in them. These tents we pitched facing Kenia, so that we might look at it when- ever the cloud canopy generally shrouding it from view was lifted. When we first got to Ndoro we usuall}^ got a peep in the early morning and at sunset, but onl)^ a peep lasting a few minutes. The general appearance of the mountain was very much what it had been from Kikuyuland, except that the outlines were more defined, especially those of the steep slopes.
