Consequently, when we marched out of Nairobi on the evening of September twenty-third, with tents and guns and a hundred and twenty men, the dominating thought was of lions. If ever any one had greater hope and less expectation of killing a lion I was the one. We had planned a short trip of from three to five weeks northeast of Nairobi in what is called the Tana River country.
"So I make typewutta quick. Not so many lettah " "That's a great idea, Tana. Save time. You'll make a fortune. Press one key and there's 'ing. Hope you work it out." Tana laughed disparagingly. "Wait. I tell " "Where's Mrs. Patch?" "She out. Wait, I tell " Again he screwed up his face for action. "My typewutta " "Where is she?" "Here I make." He pointed to the miscellany of junk on the table.
Gone since ha' past six. TANA: Yes. Company. Mistah Caramel, Mistah and Missays Barnes, Miss Kane, all stay here. PARAMORE: I see. TANA: I no un'stan'. PARAMORE: They've been having a fling. TANA: Yes, they have drink. Oh, many, many, many drink. PARAMORE: One of the Japanese instruments. TANA: I play flu-u-ute, Japanese flu-u-ute. PARAMORE: What song were you playing?
Some one claimed to have heard a lion out from Fort Hall early in the morning, but I more than half suspect it was one of our porters who reverberates when he sleeps. From Fort Hall we crossed the Tana and made three marches down the river. Rhinos were everywhere jumping out from behind bushes when least expected and in many ways behaving in a most diverting way.
One letter only have I received from the old gentleman, dated from a mission station high up the Tana, a river on the east coast, about three hundred miles north of Zanzibar.
Then began a great argument in which Tau Dalom Tana gained his point and did make the noses and placed them on the faces of the first two people upside down. So great had been the argument over this making and placing of noses that MElu forgot to finish that part of the second person and went away to his place above the clouds, and Tau Dalom Tana went away to his place below the earth.
Of course not. MURIEL: Now really! MURIEL: Clear the floor! MURIEL: Oh, let's have music! MAURY: Tana will render the love song of an eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist. The pajamaed Japanese, flute in hand, is wrapped in a comforter and placed in a chair atop one of the tables, where he makes a ludicrous and grotesque spectacle. GLORIA: No, sir! Want to do the swan dance. Can you do it?
The impalla is seen along the railroad and in enormous numbers out along the Thika Thika and Tana Rivers. There are also many up in the Rift Valley and doubtless in other sections. From my own experience and observation they were most abundant on the Tana River. The wildebeest, or gnu, is found on the Athi Plains and northward along the Athi River and the Thika Thika.
Taking the remnants of the material left after making the earth he fashioned two men but just as they were all finished except their noses, Tau Tana from below the earth appeared and wanted to help him. Melu did not wish any assistance, and a great argument ensued. Tau Tana finally won his point and made the noses which he placed on the people upside down.
The oriental traffic of the latter was maintained through Tana, however, for nearly two centuries later, when, in 1410, the Mongol Tartars, under Tamerlane, fell upon the devoted colony, took, sacked, burnt, and utterly destroyed it. This was the first terrible blow to the most magnificent commerce which the world had ever seen, and which had endured for ages.
