C.A. Wiggins, 'Early Days in British East Africa and Uganda', Bodleian Library Mss. 740.12.r.44  The first Sleeping Sickness Commission consisting of doctors Lowe, Castellani and Christy passed through Kisumu on their way to Uganda in July 1902. They were a queer lot. Lowe and Christy were not on speaking terms and I was told that they had actually come to blows on the platform of Mombasa railway station because the label on their reserve carriage was worded Dr Lowe and party. Christy was a strange, quick- and ill-tempered man. The three members of the commission did not seem to work together at all. Christy covered a large area in his wanderings, but seemed much more interested in butterflies than in tsetse flies.
