I saw some Eland & a Rhino in the distance, but did not go after them as they were moving pretty fast and there were no good heads distinguishable. I did a big circle but saw nothing of note & shot a Grant (Robertsi) for meat with a pretty fair head.
C got back to camp about 1/4 hour later having lost a good water buck. He was photographing it thinking it was dead (as it had dropped to his shot & the Masai had  driven his spear right through it) when it suddenly jumped to its feet, knocked over the boy that was holding its head & made off. C could not shoot as the Masai clung to his tail for some way and after tracking it about a mile eventually lost it. He shot a Couple of Grant & 2 dik-diks for food.
Spent the afternoon in camp seeing to many odd jobs & getting ready a mail. Tomorrow we are sending back half the safari for pocho etc. The wounded boy is doing fine.
