DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II MOMBASA, THE UGANDA RAILROAD AND NAIROBI We left Naples on the steamship Burgameister, of the German East Africa Line, on Monday, November 18,1907, late in the afternoon, and arrived at Port Said on the 22d.

From these reservoirs it is supplied to the public in barrels, hauled by donkeys, camels, and big, Indian humped oxen, as well as in goatskins carried on the backs of men. We here encountered representatives of almost all the Oriental races, as well as great numbers of Somalis, most of the latter presenting "chits," or letters with alleged recommendations from former employers, mostly British officers. Some of them had been engaged beforehand as gun-bearers by fellow passengers. We approached the island on which Mombasa is situated at sunrise on December 4, and encountered a most beautiful view. Our ship was too large to go into the Mombasa Harbor proper, so we entered that of Kilindini, which is the deep-water port and lies at the back of the...
