Note 119 — IV
Philip Askell Benton translation
Cf. Barth, iv. 12, where Barth refers to ‘the coldest night of his whole journey’, and mentions that the temperature shortly before sunrise was only 4·5° centigrade above freezing-point. The Yola-Chad Boundary Commission repeatedly experienced similar cold nights in the winter of 1903-4, and the native carriers suffered severely from them.
