natives report. Hope they may be back tomorrow or day after. Found track of a Bongo in the jungle. 2 Egyptian Geese came & settled within a few yards of me while sitting quietly watching for hippo. Very pretty down on the River terrible hard work getting through the jungle along the Elephant paths. A native has just come & produced and old iron [[strikethrough]] spherical [[/strikethrough]] round bullet he had cut out of one Elephant's head, so he had had a dose some years ago.

Another blank day. We were out all the morning in search of game but did not get a shot. Saw good many Water Buck Cows & 2 bulls. Elephant have moved some way off evidently. Nothing has been seen of either hippo, so suppose they were not dead. Have decided to move on a days trek tomorrow with a few porters in search of game.

Left our Camp at 6.15 & marched across the R Riana [[strikethrough] S [[/strikethrough]] in a Southerly direction & encamped on the Left bank of the Sarri Stream at 8 am.
