It was a holiday like no other.
In 1950, Moroto District Commissioner J Watney from Uganda had corresponded with his counterpart, Leslie Whitehouse and secured permission to pitch camp at Fegurson's Gulf along the shore of Lake Turkana. Here he hoped to relax with his family as he fished and hunted.
The DC at some point turned his attention to a crocodile that was lounging in the lake and seriously wounded it. But he made a near fatal mistake. He went over the dying creature which was motionless and dragged it ashore and started prodding its rugged body in search of the exact spot his bullet had smashed it, to the jubilation of his family members.
