ELECTRIC LIGHTS, MOTOR-CARS AND FIFTEEN VARIETIES OF WILD GAME.

CHASING LIONS ACROSS COUNTRY IN A CARRIAGE Nairobi is a thriving, bustling city, with motor cars, electric lights, clubs, race meets, balls, banquets, and all the frills that constitute an up-to-date community.

Carriages and dog-carts and motorcycles rush about, and lords and princes and earls sit upon the veranda of the leading hotel in hunting costumes.

Lying out from Nairobi are big grazing farms, many of them fenced in with barbed wire; and the peaceful rows of telegraph poles make exclamation points of civilization across the landscape.

It doesn't sound like good hunting in such a district, does it?
Yet this is what actually happened: We had discharged our _safari_, packed up our tents, and were just ready to start to Mombasa to catch a ship for Bombay.
