The safari is no longer a coherent organization , but an aggregate of units , each with his own problem of weariness , of thirst , finally of suffering . More and more stretches the distance between the _ bwana _ and his headman . No native of the porter intelligence has the slightest forethought for the morrow , and very little for the day . If it is hot and he has started early , his water bottle is empty by noon . This wise program Kingozi entered upon carefully . The three hours ' march went well ; the two hours followed with every one strong and cheerful ; then two hours more without trouble . Kingozi 's men were picked , and hard as nails .
