A Letter From Africa About Wells and Heat in Massawa
John St. Watson, drilling wells for the Italian Government at Massawa, writes James Parker about extreme heat and dust making his work difficult. He criticizes late-season drilling, pay delays, and Italian officials while describing Massawa’s island location, the mainland mole, and the desert coast. He notes 6,000 Italian soldiers, poor living conditions, and natives’ labor, with Italians seen as ineffectual beyond marching and bugling.
