I immediately had a good look round for Brock, but could see no sign of him, so, in case the "many" lions should get away in the meantime, I told the Masai to lead the way, and off we started. As usual, the m'bali kidogo proved a good distance over two miles in this case.
Even the old savage at my feet grinned when he saw how keen I was about it. I plied him with questions were they both lions or lionesses? had they manes? how far away were they? and so on. Naturally, to the last question he was bound to answer "M'bali kidogo." Of course they were not far away; nothing ever is to a native of East Africa.
Now, I had had experience of M'bali kidogo before; it is like the Irishman's "mile and a bit." So I decided to start very early next morning on a search for this pond for such my informant described it to be. In the meantime the poor fellow, who appeared starving there was a sore famine among the natives of the district at the time was given food and drink, and made a ravenous meal.
