We concealed somewhat cynical smiles, and agreed. The early start was made, but when we reached camp we found, not the Wanderobo, but Leyeye and the Masai huddled over a fire. This was exasperating, but we could not say much. After all, the whole matter was no right of ours, but a manifestation of friendship on the part of Naiokotuku.
We never lacked for meat when we dared shoot it, but we were after nobler game. The sheep given us by Naiokotuku followed along under charge of the syces. When we should run quite out of meat, we intended to eat them. We delayed too long, however. One evening the fool boy tied them to a thorn bush; one of them pulled back, the thorns bit, and both broke loose and departed into the darkness.
Next night I missed him from the clinic, and sent Abba Ali in search. C. returned the next day from V.'s boma, bringing more potio and some trade goods. We sent a good present back to Naiokotuku, and prepared for an early start into the new country. We marched out of the lower end of our elliptical valley towards the miniature landscape we had seen through the opening.
Tell them that he has no goods here with him, but that he has sent men back to the boma of bwana Kingozi for blankets and wire and cloth, and when those men return he will make a good present to these Masai and to Naiokotuku, their chief.
"Why," we inquired, "were not the Wanderobo sent at first, instead of yourselves?" "Because," they replied, with truly engaging frankness, "our chief, Naiokotuku, thought that perhaps we might find elephant here in the country we know; and then we should get for ourselves all the presents you would give for finding elephant.
