'In Part II the authoress gives from her own experience and observation a vivid description of mountains and plains of tropical foliage and waterless, barren scrub land which is most telling, culminating in her account of the ascent to the 19,000 ft. crater of Kibo.The Scene on the lip of the cauldron is dramatic, when one of her Chagga porters on viewing the mighty spectacle for the first time, broke the silence with: "This is an Abode of God: there is no house is all the world clean except this one."
