Entebbe, or Port Alice, founded 
by Sir Gerald Portal barely 
fifteen years ago, is the political 
and administrative capital of the 
Uganda Protectorate. The Pro¬ 
tectorate includes much more than 
the old kingdom of Uganda, having 
been enlarged by the addition of 
the kingdoms of Toro, Unyoro and 
Ankole, which form a semi-circle 
to the west and south of Uganda 
proper. To these we must add the 
district to the east of Lake Kioga and around the great 
extinct volcano Elgon, as well as the vast regions known as 
the “ Nile Province ” and the “ Rudolf Province ” to the north.
