Description
Excerpt from In Africa: Hunting Adventures in the Big Game Country
The succeeding pages of this book contain the chronicle of the nine delightful months that f 01 lowed my departure from America.
In the middle of August Mr. Stephenson and I arrived in London. Mr. Akeley had ordered most of our equipment by letter, but there still remained many things to be done, and for a week or more we were busy from morning till night.
It is amazing how much stuff is required to out fit a party of four people for an African shooting expedition of several months'' duration. First in importance come the ri?es, then the tents and camp equipment, then the clothes and boots, then the medical supplies, and finally the food. Perhaps the food might be put first in importance, but just now, after a hearty dinner, it seems to be the least im portant detail.
