Oct 28./ Arrived Killindini harbour 6. am. been raining heavily. Landed about 9 am & got things through Customs. Hear there has been a wash out on line & Air Engine derailed & there is small hope of getting upcountry for next 2 or 3 days. Received letter from [[Ineat?]] saying we shall go straight up to the Lake & into the Kizii Country. Put up at Grand Hotel with Gifford, Hugh Grosvenor & Somes. Pretty filthy place, but best in Mombasa. Very hot & very damp. Rain at intervals. Oct. 29./ Feeling seedy, slight touch of fever. Have no chance of getting away today so take good dose of Castor oil & lay up. Quinine & asperine in the evening & sweat out fever. Oct 30./ Much better. Hear we can get off at ll. am. Get a carriage with Gifford on the first train. Fortunately take lunch with us. Get about 18 miles & find line not yet repaired.
