As for the toilet, they could only use the public latrine outside. In truth, some Venetians had yet to experience East Africa's strict sanitation standards.
The East African policeman had only mentioned it in passing earlier, because he had too much to handle that day, with many more immigrants waiting for him to arrange their placement.
