Kenya Diary - Apr. 1906 - Bura, Serengeti Plains - met one Pattison, a local planter ....... Pattison employs 3 Europeans on his estate - an Italian, a German, and an Englishman called Edgell. This latter fellow has just got into trouble with the German authorities over the border and is now on bail from Moshi. They treated him badly, for he was arrested by black soldiers and marched with handcuffs through native villages. His offence was that he had omitted to pay land tax. Edgell therefore hates the Germans. .........…

Pattison has been unlucky in losing one of his partners, a man called Tattersall. He recently went off his head, a common occurrence due to the climate, shot 2 policemen and tried to shoot Collyer's servant. He is now lodged in Mombasa gaol awaiting trial.
