Overview
The quantity of ivory in camp was so large that we required 700 porters to carry both tusks and provisions, for the five days' march through uninhabited country. Kamrasi came to see us before we parted; he had provided the requisite porters. We were to start on the following day; he arrived with the Blissett rifle that had been given him by Speke. He told me that he was sorry we were going; and he was much distressed that he had burst his rifle!Synopsis
