[In Africa by John T. McCutcheon]@TWC D-Link bookIn Africa CHAPTER IV 11/34
When an Englishman gets enthusiastic about a speech by an American it must be a pretty good speech. Newland and Tarlton is the firm that outfits most shooting parties that start out from Nairobi.
They do all the preliminary work and relieve you of most of the worry.
If you wish them to do so, they will get your complete outfit, so you need not bring anything with you but a suitcase. They will get your guns, your tents, your food supplies, your mules, your head-man, your cook, your gunbearers, your askaris (native soldiers), your interpreter, your ammunition, and your porters.
They will have the whole outfit ready for you by the time you arrive in Nairobi.
When you arrive in British East Africa, a-shooting bent, you will hear of Newland and Tarlton so often that you will think they own the country. Mr.Newland met us in Mombasa, and through his agents sent all of our London equipment of tents and guns and ammunition and food up to Nairobi.
