Uganda Once More
After a journey home on furlough, I reached Mombasa again at 10 a.m. on August 19, 1903. We were all soon on shore with our baggage.
The first train for Uganda, we found, was to leave on Saturday; this was Wednesday. What a difference from the old style, the waiting from a fortnight to two months to arrange for porters, servants, donkeys, and camp outfit! Now we had merely a visit to a store to get a basket of provisions for a few days, a little methylated spirit to boil water on the train. All the rest of the time could be devoted to sight-seeing.
