baggage, moving-picture cameras, cowboys, photographers, and porters;
and when it pulled out of the Nairobi station on the way to the "up
country" of British East Africa, the period of preparation passed away
and the time of action began. As the faces of the people on the platform
glided by the window of the slowly moving carriage, there was good will
written on all of them; but also unbelief. There was no doubt as to
what they thought of Buffalo Jones's expedition that was setting out to
rope and tie and photograph the wild animals of the East African Veldt. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
