When an animal is killed the gunbearers skin it and care for the trophy.

Usually when on a shooting jaunt of several hours from camp several porters go along to carry home the game.
Third in the social scale came the askaris--armed natives in uniforms who guard the camp at night.

One or more patrol the camp all night long, keep up the fires and scare away any marauding lion or hyena that may approach the camp.

We had four askaris, one of whom was the noisiest man I have ever heard.

He reminded me of a congressman when congress is not in session.
