 countries for quick travel, I was held up for hours, in the 

 glow of a tropical sky, until all the rules and regulations 

 of a paternal government had been complied with. My 

 endeavors to penetrate into the still unexplored regions 

 about the Rudolf Lake, situated in English territory, 

 were nipped in the bud. Permission to enter had been 

 granted to me previously. I had filled my purse well 

 for all emergencies of a financial nature, and I was just 

 about to start from the Kilimanjaro when the permit 

 was cancelled. It was a case of tit for tat, for some 

 Englishmen had just been refused permission to travel 

 in German East Africa. Thus all my plans in this re- 

 spect were wrecked. 



But in spite of all the hardships and disappointmicnts, 

 or rather on their account, I value the memory of those 

 days beyond any price.
