RH s.1277 - DC at Kisii in 1914

Gethin - 1914 - On arrival in Kisii, Gethin was shown into the DC's wife's, Mrs Spencer's,  bedroom as he was mistaken for the ADC, Gasper Evans whom she had asked to call as she was very bored. 'On offering to retire, they would not hear of it, the boy was called to bring drinks and we all had a most pleasant evening. Mrs Spencer recovered an hour later from her bout of malaria and suggested we should all go to Gasper Evans house for dinner. The party ended at about 1 a.m. with myself sleeping on a sofa in Gasper's sitting room as I hadn't the faintest idea where my tent was and if I would ever find it.' ................ The short time I knew Spencer I became very fond of him. He was a delicate looking person of small stature, very well turned out, perfect manners, kind and most hospitable. I should say a good administrator up to a point, but completely devoid of thrust and looking ahead, like so many others. ..... he was deeply affected by the callous attitude of the Kisii to the execution of one of their tribe - they laughed and considered it great entertainment - that he said he wanted nothing more to do with the Kisii.
