Foster - Mrs Bailey visited her daughter, Beth Llewellyn, in 1927. She liked Kenya so she returned to live at Timau until her death in 1932. She had built for herself a stone house, which was pulled down in 1942, because the house had no nearby water supply. Ali Boyd was Mrs Bailey's constant companion.

Eastman - May 4, 1926 - Mrs Bailey, wife of Mr G.L. Bailey, of "Sterndale" Naivasha, is an inmate of Nairobi European Hospital after being the victim of an experience which comes within the lives of few women. She owes the fact that she is still alive to some miraculous intervention or accident of which she is quite unaware. While hunting in Suswa, the mountain which rises above the great Rift Valley and is one of the breasts of the Queen of Sheba in the mythology and ancient history of Africa, she was charged by two rhinoceroses and very seriously injured. This is the thrilling story of her adventure: Mr and Mrs Bailey were on safari and had established their camp near Suswa for a week. On the night before the accident they had been sitting up for lions, and Mrs Bailey caught a chill. On the following day she decided that she would not go far and she intended to spend an uneventful day hunting around the camp for reedbuck with a small rifle. Mr Bailey departed with a gun-bearer to seek game on the plains and Mrs Bailey, with another bearer and a second native, decided to climb Suswa. She found no sign of reedbuck and set out to return to camp. On the way home she discovered fresh tracks of rhino and suddenly came upon two of the animals lying down under a tree in more or less open ground. She hurried to camp and brought her husband's double .470 rifle and the natives back to the spot. When she arrived she found that the two animals had changed their position and were resting under a thick bush. Mrs Bailey crept slowly forward until she was well within forty yards. The rhinos were in such a position that one was practically covering the outline of its companion, and she supposed they were an old rhino and a full-grown youngster. The ;atter was nearest to her and she fired at the rhino on the farther side, choosing as a mark an exposed shoulder to get a heart shot. The next thing she knew was that they both rose to their feet and rushed through the bush at her, charging side by side. Mrs Bailey's one and only thought was that the end of her life had arrived, and she had no time to turn about or fire a second time. One of the animals caught her with its horn on her side; the horn travelled right up her body and tore away the whole of the scalp on that side. She was thrown high into the air among the trees, and when she came down the rhino trod upon her as she lay on the ground. Both native gun-bearers stood the strain well. They were experienced men, and they kept their ground. As soon as opportunity offered they lifted the injured woman up - her face streaming blood - and when she regained her feet, she discovered that one of the rhinos was rapidly returning. The natives dragged Mrs Bailey into a dry water gully, and the gun-bearer drove the animal off with rifle fire. Then they set out to carry Mrs Bailey four miles to camp and luckily met another party of the camp porters who had been in the same locality for the camp water supply. Among them they brought her down, quite unconscious, and one native hurried on ahead to inform Mr Bailey who met the party bringing his injured wife about a mile from camp. Mr Bailey immediately placed her in his car and took her to Naivasha where the District Commissioner called in a doctor. Mrs Bailey was removed to the farm and given emergency attention, after which the doctor ordered her removal to Nairobi hospital. Dr. Jewell, on examination, found that the skull was intact, but Mrs Bailey will require the most careful attention for some time before she regains strength after the terrifying experience. She is now progressing slowly but steadily. It is believed that one of the rhinoceroses has been shot, and Mr Bailey is returning to Suswa in search of the other.
