"Parliamentary Papers containing an interesting account of

building the Mombasa Victoria Lake Railway. Includes specifics

of building the railway (e.g., required number of laborers, amounts

of materials needed, etc) as well as detailed accounts of each native

tribe and types of wildlife likely to be encountered while building the

railroad. Also includes a section on the slave trade and 7 coloured maps

publication of this report."
