Theodore Roosevelt and Kermit Roosevelt are approaching the end of their trip and are content with their efforts. They are anxious to see their family again. The camp was almost burned a few nights ago, but the fire was fought off and the naturalists proved admirable in an emergency. They both remain healthy but must get sick soon to “make Africa justify its reputation.”
