(By Reuter's Special Correspondent Somewhere in the Abyssinian Bush)
This is the sixth day of our trek into an unexplored wilderness and although fatigued and with rations low and trucks battered, we have sighted our objective on the far-off horizon.
We can now look back on many score miles of track blazed through bush and for- est, sometimes through raging bush fires, and know that the success of our safari is assured and soon our tracks will be transformed into the first British-made road in Abyssinia.
This expedition, which in peace- time would have taken weeks of careful preparation, was under- taken at 12 hours' notice, with no different development than опр would use in a trip from London to the coast.
Bush Fire
We started with a convey of British and foreign vehicles, but the two days later abandoned foreign vehicles, which could not survive the severe condi- tions.
