In Africa

CHAPTER VIII
20/20

Our _safari_ was the only one he had met in the field since he had been in Africa, and it was evident that the efforts of the protectorate officials to save him from interference and intrusion had been successful.
Arrangements were then made for an elephant hunt.

Colonel Roosevelt was working on schedule time, and had planned to be in Sergoi on the seventeenth.

He agreed to a hunt that should cover the fifteenth, sixteenth, and possibly the seventeenth, trusting that they might be successful in this period and that a hard forced march could get him to Sergoi on the night of the eighteenth.
It was arranged that he and Mr.Akeley, with Kermit and Tarlton and one tent should start early the next morning on the hunt, trusting to luck in overtaking the herd that he had seen in the morning.
