Additional Details:
THE COOKING HUT.--The cooking was always done in a hut of poles and elephant-grass built by the natives wherever camp was pitched. Four to six porters slept in each little tent. Col. Roosevelt objected to this discomfort for them and ordered roomier quarters, but they objected, saying they got cold at night unless they lay in bunches.
