Internally browned but good. Adventures in the wilds of Africa in the vein of the author's earlier book, Man-eaters of Tsavo. "Patterson revisits the infamous sites of Tsavo, which he describes in his first book, then treks in the nyika, or wilderness of British East Africa." (Czech). From the author's preface - "On the first trip there were three of us, and all returned safely to civilisation, although dangers were not wholly absent. On the second and longer expedition there were also three Europeans, but, alas! only two got back, the nyika having claimed the third." Patterson goes on to say "Practically the whole of this book was written while I was suffering from the illness which I contracted in the nyika, so I trust that its many shortcomings will be overlooked." Chapters include: Tsavo revistited; At Nairobi; On safari; On the Yatta Plateau; A fruitless lion hunt; Chased by a rhino; Through a game country; An eventful Christmas Day; Our camp by the Thika River; Preparations for a second expedition; On safari to the north; An adventure with lions in a shoma; Through Laikipia; along the Guaso Narok; The Masai; Across country to the Guaso Nyiro; Along the Guaso Nyiro; An adventure with a crocodile; Through Samburu Land; In quest of the boundary; A rogue elephant kills Aladdin; A rhino concert; The tragedy in the desert; Across the Kaisoot Desert; At Marsabit; Southward once more; Back to the Guaso Nyiro; We reach the Meru country; Back to Nairobi. .…
