A Far Bell by Barbara Priest
Barbara Priest was the wife of Cecil Priest, ornithologist and author of many bird books. He was also a member of the British Secret Service in the First World War. They called upon him again in 1940 to travel along the borders of Northern and Southern Rhodesia and throughout Mozambique, and report on the Axis support in the region and find out what possible routes could be used by an invading German or Japanese force. Posing as tourists, rice buyers, bird-watchers and anything else that would suffice, together they journeyed over the most difficult terrain. This is the story of that journey, written by his wife who accompanied him.
