DRIVEN INTO LAKE
ABYSSINIAN RAIDERS’ FATE Abyssinian raiders have encountered military patrols in the region of Lake Rudolf (on the northern border of Kenya). One patrol of the King's African Rifles, under Lieutenant Francis, with 10 native soldiers, met 300 tribesmen ,",0 miles from the border, and the retreating raiders met, nearer the frontier, another patrol under Captaiu Murray, who had been informed of the attack on the other patrol by a native runner. The majority of the Abyssinians were driven into Lake Rudolf and probably most of them were drowned. Last year the Abyssinian Government paid a considerable sum to the Kenya Government as compensation for damage and thefts of stock by lawless tribesmen.
