Hot. Had all my spears, shields, and weapons put together 
and ordered them shipped to America direct—having too many 
to carry along with us. Spent the rest of the day transacting 
business with Newland. Railey, the third member of the firm 
—my assistant in paying off safari—was taken with fever this 
morning. Arranged with Newland to turn in ponies at 2,300 
rupees. 
Hot. Left at noon for Mombassa. Learning of a small in¬ 
termediate steamer sailing on the 27th, obtained accommoda¬ 
tions on her; securing the Chief Officer’s room for Mrs. 
Fleischmann, and a place for Learmonth to stow his clothes. 
Only obtained these accommodations through the courtesy 
of a hunter, unable to dispose of his ivory, and having to 
wait until so doing before leaving the country. 
Sailed at midnight aboard the German East African boat 
Kanzler, a dilapidated “tub,” to be retired from passenger 
trade on arrival in Hamburg, at the end of this voyage. 
A cargo of copra and green hides wafted “perfume” our 
way, but our success during the two months’ shooting and our 
luck in not being held up, a month or so, awaiting a steamer, 
prevented this dampening our spirits in the slightest. 
After a voyage, uneventful save for our succoring a dhow, 
twenty-four days becalmed and out of both provisions and 
water;—with calm, smooth seas, but rather appalling heat, 
what was left of the safari, (as we still styled ourselves), ar¬ 
rived at Genoa two days ahead of time! 
Our luck, evidently, was still holding good,—concluding for 
us a most enjoyable, as well as most successful African hunt!
