Summary: "Sport in Abyssinia; Or, The Mareb and Tackazzee" by the Earl of Mayo is an adventure travelogue written in the late 19th century. This account narrates the author's hunting expedition in Abyssinia, showcasing his experiences and interactions with both local inhabitants and landscapes. Mayo skillfully blends reports of his sportsmanship with insightful observations about the culture and environment he encounters along the Mareb and Tackazzee rivers. The opening of the narrative establishes the beginning of a journey from Cairo, where the author and his companions gather before moving to Suez and eventually setting off to Abyssinia. The author introduces key participants, including Petros, an Abyssinian merchant who becomes his valuable interpreter. Capturing the challenges of organizing supplies and navigating the unfamiliar terrain, Mayo vividly describes his first encounters with the region's wildlife and local customs. Despite a series of amusing predicaments and minor failures, such as missed shots at game, the sense of excitement and anticipation in his writing draws readers into the adventure that lies ahead.
