Kilimanjaro, 18,881 feet high, and Kenia, in the equatorial regions of Central Africa, are about 150 miles from the Victoria Nyanza, and a still greater distance from the ocean; and Mount Demavend, in Persia, which rises to an elevation of 18,464 feet near the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, a volcanic mountain of the first magnitude, is now extinct or dormant.
My bullet had reached the brain just over the left eye. Now, toward sunset, we headed definitely toward camp. The long shadows and beautiful lights of evening were falling across the hills far the other side the Isiola. A little breeze with a touch of coolness breathed down from distant unseen Kenia.
That right has, it is contended, been violated in Kenia in regard more especially to the three major questions of franchise, segregation, and land ownership.
And yet the place was not without a certain quaintness and charm of its own, though possibly indeed probably it was one which would quickly pall. 'Well, where are you gentlemen steering for? asked our friend the hospitable Consul, as we smoked our pipes after dinner.

Yes, such things of beauty are indeed a joy for ever, and I can well understand what little Flossie meant when she talked of Kenia as her companion.
In every direction the bush rolled away in great billows for miles and miles, as far as the glass would show, only here and there broken by the brighter green of patches of cultivation, or by the glittering surface of lakes.

In my several months of African hunting I had four different encounters with elephants. The first two were on Mount Kenia and the last two were on the Guas Ngishu Plateau, near where it merges into the lower slopes of Mount Elgon.
'And now, Quatermain, tell us, where do you propose going to? I lit my pipe, which had gone out, before answering. 'Have you people ever heard of Mt Kenia? I asked. 'Don't know the place, said Good. 'Did you ever hear of the Island of Lamu? I asked again. 'No. Stop, though isn't it a place about 300 miles north of Zanzibar? 'Yes. Now listen. What I have to propose is this.
