If Colonel Roosevelt had discovered a new variation of any of the species it would be called the "Roosevelti -- --." The colonel said that he had not discovered any new animals, but that Heller, he thought, had found some new variety of mouse or mole on Mount Kenia.

He supposed that it would be called the Mole Helleri.
He then told about an exciting adventure they had with a hippo two nights before.

Away in the night the camp was aroused by screams coming from the big swamp in front.

Kongoni, his gunbearer, rushed in and shouted: "Lion eat porter!" The colonel grabbed his gun and dashed out in the darkness.

Kermit and one or two others, hastily armed, also appeared, and they charged down the swamp, where a hippo had made its appearance in the neighborhood of a terrified porter.
