Interesting diary headed "Mozum Expedition" of a bush trip by canoe and on foot in Nigeria. Entries span Tues., Feb. 14 - Tues. (sic) Feb. 21 of a year unknown, but likely 1930s. It is written in the first person by an un-named, apparent Irishman in company with a native Nigerian interpreter and several native porters. Place names in the diary seem limited to Mozum and Lokoja and the writer visits several times with the "king" of Mozum. The intention of the trip was to hunt elephants, but that was not accomplished; the writer concluding at the end of has narrative that he had chosen the wrong time of year and that he did not have "proper hunters." The writer seems to be stationed at or working in Lokoja and writes of the native people with a non-patronizing familiarity.
