First edition 1976, published by Macmillan South Africa. Dust jacket has some tears, scuff marks and folds. Inside pages clean. Binding still very good. With a map of Tanganyika (Tanzania) on flyleaf.
This stranger-than-fiction true story gives an enthralling insight into the great and complex personality of John Williamson, who endured beyond all reasonable human limits to prove his conviction that a rich diamond pipe existed south of Lake Victoria in Tanganyika. Year after year with his faithful African helpers, all the labour he could ultimately afford, he toiled under the pitiless sun in the fever-ridden Territory, suffering appalling privations as his debts mounted and his prospects faded. Eventually, success came.
