Context: “In Cairo I found I should have to wait some time for a passage home, and I took the opportunity of paying a flying visit to Jerusalem. On my return to Cairo I found it best to go to Alexandria, cross to Taranto, and go home overland through France.” (Roscoe, J., 1922. The Soul of Central Africa: An Account of the Mackie Ethnological Expedition. (London: Cassell and Co.), p. 326.). [ED 2/1/2008]
