A journey from Zeila to Lake Rudolf

Note
Location Ethiopia Subject Distribution Species Black Rhino (bicornis)

at Godigea on Manta River, 10-12 March 1900. We found our first rhino here. A.E. Butter killing one, and W.f. Whitehouse another. The latter, unfortunately, getting his shikaree, Darod Nur, badly smashed up before he killed it. Having set a broken leg and dressed the other wounds, we sent him back to our kind friend, Fitaerauri Waldo, who nursed him till well enough to send down the coast.
