Profession: Went to Kenya with John Alfred Jordan to look for gold
Book Reference: Jordan
General Information:
Jordan - ... Met Jack Wrigglesworth in Port Elizabeth. He reminded me of the heroes in the old Boys' Own paper. He was handsome and clean and very English. He could be cold with a hard, aristocratic coldness, and then he would smile as he saw the ridiculous side of his own appearance. He was about my height, 6 ft. 2 ins., and he could box just as well as I could, or at any rate neither could knock the other down. ......... They looked for gold together in GEA near Shirati.
