Miss Virginia Crittenden has re-
turned to her home at AtAeimer, after
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-19

homes of the British officials. There are two good harbors, a little one and big one. The little one is in the main part of the town and Is frequented by small craft. The other could hold all the ships that sail the east coast and the people say here it is to be the great port of this side of the continent. The big harbor IS called Kilindini, a word that means deep water" It has only few warehouse sheds and a pier above it, and the main settlements are across the island four miles away.
 It was in Kilindini that I landed and that under difficulties Our ship was anchored far out and our baggage was taken on shore in native boats. l found the main quay crowded, and had my boatman go direct to the custom house and let us out on the beach. The custom house is a little shed, about big enough for one cow It is situated high up above the water, and out trunks had to be car ried in upon the heads of the negroes. The water came up to their middles, bur nevertheless. they waded through 1t and took both us and our baggage to the land. The customs examination was lenient. The officers looked through our trunk for guns and ammunition and warned us
 
 hippopotami without a $250 license. A lit tie later the negroes again took our trunks and carried them about a quarter of mile to the top of a hill, where we got the cars for Mombasa.
 The word cars savers of electricity or steam. The cars I took were run by men. Here in East Africa human muscle forms the cheapest power. The wages of the natives run from cents a day up- ward, and in the interior there are many who will work all day for cents. The result Is that the trolley cars are pulled by men. Each consists of a platform about as big as a kitchen table, with wheels underneath and an awning over head. On the middle of the platform 's a bench accommodating two or four per sons. The wheels run on a track about two feet in width, and each car is pushed from behind by one or more bare-legge1 and bare-headed men, who run as they shove 1t up hill and down. There are such car tracks all over the island, with switches to the homes of the various offi- cials. There are private cars as well as public ones, and every one who is any one has his own private car with his coolles to push him to and from work. At the beginning and closing of his office hours, which are from until l2 and
