General Information:
Grasshoppers - Jacob Toole died followed by Tom Allen. Soon Mrs Allen and Minnie Lindbergh fell ill and Willis [Hotchkiss] struggled with them to the new railway terminus, Kinani, and on to Mombasa where he helped the ladies board a ship. As they drew away from the quay, he painfully recalled disembarking with 15 others two and a half years before; all so full of hope. Now, he only remained.
