Description
8220Dakness fell almost immediately, and
everything became extraordinarily still. The
silence of an African jungle on a dark night
needs to be experienced to be realised it is
most impressive, especially when one is
absolutely alone and isolated from
one8217sfellow creatures, as I was
then.8221Inthe late 19th century, the British
began construction on a railway linking Uganda
with the Indian Ocean. The railroad's passage
through Africa crossed over the Tsavo River in
Kenya, and thus the British Army
brought Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson
in to lead the thousands of workers as they began
the bridge's construction. Throughout the next
nine months, the construction site encountered a
pair of lions that would stalk the campsite,
drag workers from their tents, and devour those
workers at nighttime. The killings occurred daily
and the lions became bolder with each passing
week. Nothing seemed to work for Patterson to
stave off the lion attacks.Patterson published
The Man-Eaters of Tsavo in 1907 to chronicle
those nine months where the lion attacks
intensified to the point where the bridge8217sco
nstruction had to be halted. Included
in Patterson's account of the 8220Ma-Eaters at
Tsavo8221are other stories from his time in
East Africa.
