THE MAN-EATERS OF TSAVO
CHAPTER I
MY ARRIVAL AT TSAVO
It was towards noon on March 1, 1898, that I
first found myself entering the narrow and
somewhat dangerous harbour of Mombasa, on the east
coast of Africa. The town lies on an island of the
same name, separated from the mainland only by
a very narrow channel, which forms the harbour;
and as our vessel steamed slowly in, close under
the quaint old Portuguese fortress built over
three hundred years ago, I was much struck
with the strange beauty of the view which
gradually opened out before me.
