Description
“Trying to increase water supply to keep power plant going.” “The Kamara R. proved a broken reed in the dry season, & we dug a furrow from the adjoining stream over into the Kamara R. & this more than trebled its volume. Above [this image] is seen the 200 odd men employed working along towards the Madina (in the foreground). Below Mr Cobb pouring earth collected from the bank onto the dam.” Landscape view of workers building an embankment along a river. Mr G C Cobb was the mission artisan from 1924 to 1928. ❧ This image is from the first years of the Chogoria mission in Kenya, which was run by the Rev. Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974), from the collection entitled ‘Chogoria, 1922. The early days.”
