ABSTRACT
FINDING ourselves in such a delightful spot, and among a most interesting people, I made no hurry to leave Taveta. After our late experiences a little rest was desirable; I was anxious to see and hear as much as I could; it was important that I should create a favourable impression upon the minds of the natives in regard to myself; and to do these things required that I should stay in the place some days at least. I remained there a whole week, and before proceeding with the narrative it may be as well to give a condensed account of the place and people.
