In Africa

CHAPTER V
18/28

If we are in a fruit country we have some oranges and bananas or papayas, a sort of pawpaw that is most delicious; it is a cross between a cantaloupe and a mango.

Then we have oatmeal with evaporated cream and sugar; then we have choice cuts from some animal that was killed the day before--usually the liver or the tenderloin.

Then we have eggs and finish up on jam or marmalade and honey.

We have coffee for breakfast and tea for the other meals.
While we are eating the tent boys have packed our tin trunks, our folding tent table, our cots and our pillows, cork mattresses and blankets.

The gunbearer gets our two favorite rifles and cameras, field-glasses and water bottles.
