An intertitle announces the beginning of 'Part Three' (Parts 1 & 2 are lost). Scenes of goats being herded by Sudanese people are shown, as well as shots of the surrounding countryside, camels drinking from the lake and a procession of pack animals walking along. Women are also shown collecting water from the lake. The excavation site is also shown, with local people working on it. A sports event is also organised, with local people taking part in races. The spectators wave at the camera. A man (possibly Dr R. S. Oldham, camp surgeon) cycles towards the camera, with local children running alongside him. Sir Henry Wellcome is also seen with other westerners watching the races.
