Kermit dimly made out the hippo and shot at it, but it disappeared and could not be found again.
After luncheon the colonel said, "Now, I want to inflict my pigskin library on you," and together we went into his tent and he opened an oilcloth-covered, aluminum-lined case that was closely packed with books, nearly all of which were bound in pigskin.

It was a present from his sister, Mrs.Douglas Robinson.

The tent was lined with red, evidently Kermit's darkroom when he was developing pictures.

A little table stood at the open flaps of the entrance and upon it were writing materials, with which Mr.Roosevelt already had started to write up the elephant hunt of the day before.

His motto seems to be, "Do it now, if not sooner." [Drawing: _The Pigskin Library_] I sat on his cot, Mrs.Akeley on a small tin trunk, and Stephenson on another.
