ABSTRACT
Francis De Winton, RA. , C.B., K.C.M.G., &c., was on his way out as Administrator and himself intended going to Uganda. I therefore devoted my time while Mr Mackenzie was away in Zanzibar to reproducing my road-chart of the Sabakhi route as far as Machako's, and to writing a report of my journey and work. I also enlisted and superintended the despatch of a caravan, under Mr Neumann, to cut a road along the Athi, and gave fall instructions to him and to Mr Anstruther, who was road-cutting on the Sabakhi, and got the Viroboto sent off to garrison the forts. These tasks, together with much work connected with the scheme for the fugitive slaves, kept me employed all day and much of the night, till the return of the Administrator a fortnight later, at the end of May.
