viewed 1t as one views the land from an air
plane and furthermore, with our added eleva-
ton had come such delightful climate that
the difficulties Of the trail were almost instantly
forgotten.
Where we had made our way across hot
and waterless country. with wide sections
parched dry in the glazing sun, we were now
travelling through o rich green land where
every view was q delight, and Nature seemed
to have been more lavish than she is accustomed
to being even In that fortunate continent.
We had entered the land Of the Wabulu-
the People OF the Mist-and saw their well fed
herds of sheep and goats and cattle all about
each village that we passed
The heated plains below were forgotten, and
we made our way across that elevated plateau
the altitude Is about 5000 feet-with more Vigor
than we had ever thought to have again while
we had been journeying through the heat
Now we turned and travelled to the northward
for several days. and finally approached the
land for which we were searching-the vast and
unparalleled Ngorongoro- greatest Of the
craters in that land Of extinct and time-eroded
volcanoes.
Up and up we climbed. gradually approaching
the foot OF ths more abrupt slope leading to
the vast crater's very edge. In those highland
sections tho endless stretches Of grass gave
way 10 bush, which grew so thick that our

members Of the first American party that ever
visited that region.
THE branch line railroad set US down at the
little town of Moshi, which nestles on the
southeast slope Of Kilimanjaro. and from there
we made our way to the west. We passed
through the post Of Arusha on the slopes OF
Mount Meru and with q well Quilted safari
made our way farther into the interior, across
the Great Rift Valley, with its tsetse fly belt
which we had to Cross ut night in order to
guard against the bites Of those germ-carrying
pests.
We were even forced to climb at night up
the 2OO0-foot escarpment on the farther side
of the valley. following native trails and trust
ing to our wiry little mules to make no false
step, but once morning had come We found
that the trip was worth the energy it required.

A Ii one morning We struggled up along that

growing constantly. and the altitude was be-

passed through an open glade, only to plunge
once more into the dense bush, and it was with
great relief that We discovered . level spot at

DR.. Fritz Jaeger who gave 1t its name-DaS

no natural barrier to the region, yet the Great
Craters had rarely been visited by English

Winter of 1921-1922, in the company Of A.
