the width of the road. Three
lane, of course, Zone on each
side for a native to walk and
one in the center for us to drive
on.
By now we were in the thick
jungle and it was beginning to
get dark also it looked like it
might rain any minute. We had
tried another road and found
it impossible and now we were
finding out fast that this one
too was impossible. Our car
had come on ahead of Bob and
Eugene and their drivers. They
too had gotten stuck so didn't
arrive for twenty minutes or
oore. When they did arrive,
Bob decided to go on and walk
to Miss Roth's. There he
could get his "jalopy' and see
if he could pull us out. After
he had left, Mrs. Lichty sug-
gested that Eleanor and I go
ahead too. She explained the
way - just follow the road a.
round the corner and look for
a bridge and after crossing you
will see the house. We follow
ed instructions and walked
and walked saying ''Jambo
Soma" (hello) to every native
we saw. 1t was much further
than we had thought or even
Mrs. Lichty had remembered.
She was worried and so were
we, but it didn't do either of us
any good, | guess. Just as we
were about to turn back, we
heard Bob's rig chugging a.
long. There he was with a
couple of natives in the back
and chains on the tires, ready
to pull the cab out. About an
hour later he brought his wife
and the children and then

travel before arriving here in
Kisumu. Before we landed,
we could view the huge noun
tains and the beautiful lake
Victoria, which is about thirty
miles from where our outsta-
ton is located.
Miss Roth was unable to
meet us, the telegram which we
sent did not arrive in time; and
secondly the roads are too bad.
This is the rainy season. In
fact it has been raining quite
a lot for the past two years,
they say.
Well the taxi ride up the
mountain side was quite an ad-
venture. We came in two cabs
= open air "jobs". Native dri-
vers of course. Bob and Faith
Lichty could speak to the dri-
vers and they could speak
some English for our benefit,
which they did. 1t was the
most bumpy ride I have ever
had, [ am sure. If [ had false
teeth, or a glass eye or a tou-
pee, [ am sure [ would have
lost it out of the window. There
were many rocks, and ruts a
foot deep filled with water and
some mud too. We stopped a.
long the way at a mission
where we had lunch with some
missionary friends of the Lich-
tvs. After lunch we went on
to our destination. An hour or
two later we discovered we
were riding on a flat tire. It
was so bump we hardly knew
the difference. After fixing
it before a crowd of fifty ma
tives, young and old, dressed
and undressed, we proceeded
up, up the mountain toward
Kaimosi. Our next delay was
a mudhole about two feet deep

Two days later it was our
turn to leave the ship. How
ever, it was very calm at Alex
andria and all went smoothly.
The Jolly Travel Agency men
met us and escorted us to our
hotel in Cairo, where we held
over for ten days, waiting for
a plane to Kenya.
We are here on the Station
now and getting settled down
to our language study in ear
nest.

roundings. | am writing on my
