There is 1 very good buck amongst the impala I should like to get. I saw 2 Tommies this morning & several Stein buck & Dik-diks.
L came in at 3 Pm. having had a good day at last.- 1 lioness, 1 good warthog, 2 Chandler's Reed buck & 2 Zebra. He [[overwrites they]] came on the lioness in the high grass, she charged but stopped to look & L had time to jump off his mule & shot her in the throat, killing her instantly. she had cubs close by, but they had probably gone off with the lion.
I went out & found the impala herd & was just getting close again when a stein-buck jumped up at my feet & dashed into the middle of them, starting them off without giving me a shot. back at 6.30.

off at 6.45 with London, we visited the lioness's den in the hope of finding the lion or cubs, but saw nothing of them though we hunted all the country round about. I got a good warthog and had a long shot at some Grant. Saw any amount of zebras & Kongoni quite tame also ostriches & pig. We went to look for the Eland & covered a quantity of ground, but found nothing to shoot.
