I went after them & fired at what Malimu also thought was a Neuman's. I killed him but after very careful examination came to the conclusion he was only a Jackson with a poor head. So I left his head taking the meat. Immediately after I killed a Dik-dik & while going to catch up the Safari, sprung a cheetah in the grass. She stopped to look at me & seizing my rifle, I shot her clean through the heart.
We only reached camp at 3, going hard all the time - I mean Gilgil station. Nearly a 9 hours Safari under a boiling sun, I was about done.
So ends my 16 days Safari. I have killed 28 beasts in 16 days. 11 [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] days of which I was marching & 3 days of which I was very sick - so I think I may say I have done well. I have worked very hard & enjoyed it all enormously. I stay the night here & catch the train at 6 am tomorrow.
[[underlined] Jan 5 [[/underlined]] Took the train at 6 am [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] & reached Nairobi at 11:30. hear nothing very interesting or exciting, though
