Web The second station to be entered upon was Marsabit. Two recruits, the Rev. Eric Webster and Mr. Charles Scudder, went with Mr. Buxton in January 1931 to open up work there: Mr. Metters was shortly transferred from Lotome to join them, and Mr. and Mrs. Haylett arrived later in the year; but the death of Mrs. Haylett cast a cloud over the little band of workers in 1932.
