HUNTING AND HUNTED IN BELGIAN CONGO 



again, a splendid wharf has been erected with ample 

 shedding accommodation and steamers can come along- 

 side, so that the inconvenient landing in canoes or boats 

 is no longer necessary. 



Entebbe, the seat of the Government and headquarters 

 of the administration for the Uganda Protectorate, is, 

 in the opinion of most people, an exceedingly pretty little 

 place. As one climbs up the road, lined on each side with 

 fine old trees, one comes quickly to the little town on the 

 hillside. From certain points in the town, perfect views 

 of the great lake stretched at our feet can be obtained. 

 I suppose that, next to the Governor, the best known 

 man in Uganda is Mr. Albert Edward Bertie Smith. I 

 first met Mr. Smith in his famous private Museum of 

 Curiosities, collected from all parts of Central Africa. 

 He has spent many years in the country, and I recommend 

 any one visiting Entebbe who is desirous of spending 

 a very enjoyable hour, to look in and see Mr Smith, 

 for he is always pleased to show visitors over his place 

 and to give them much valuable information regarding 

 the country and its resources. It was at Entebbe that 

 I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Doctor 

 Rendle, who was busy superintending the packing up 

 of his household effects prior to proceeding to Nimule, 

 via Jinja. We left Entebbe the following morning, 

 Tuesday, and after some five hours' steaming, reached 



Kampala Port, where I landed. P had come down 



to meet me, and after passing through the offices of the 

 Port authorities a number of cases containing stores, etc., 

 we proceeded by ricksha to Kampala Town, seven miles 

 away. The greater part of the road is cut through tall 

 elephant grass. The journey occupied close upon an 

 hour, the ricksha boys singing chanties all the time and 

 perspiring freely. 



The Cathedral of Saint Paul at Nairembe Hill stood 

 out as we entered the main street, and drew up at the
