I pointed out that this would have been a difficult feat, but I knew what he meant.
Next we set to work to load an ox-wagon which had been brought round from the Mission with the dead bodies of the Masai, having first collected the spears, shields, and other arms.

We loaded the wagon five times, about fifty bodies to the load, and emptied it into the Tana.

From this it was evident that very few of the Masai could have escaped.

The crocodiles must have been well fed that night.

One of the last bodies we picked up was that of the sentry at the upper end.
