Journey Through Abyssinia and Along the Railway Line
The narrative recalls a staff member from Sudan Interior Mission on leave in Australia after eighteen months in the north west. It describes the long train journey from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, passing through harsh deserts and volcanic landscapes. Villages are mud huts, beggars abound, and the railway houses truce flags and graves from the project era. The author notes French colonial hotels at Dire Dawa, busy railway depots shipping wild animals, and encounters with Gurage porters famed for massive loads. The scene shifts to Addis Ababa with bustling markets, vendors shouting Guragie, and a hospital conveyance seen as beds climbing a hill, amid chaotic pedestrian traffic and diverse livestock on the roads.
