Description
Excerpt from From Korti to Khartum: A Journal of the Desert March From Korti to Gubat, and of the Ascent of the Nile in General Gordon''s Steamers
Agree with more recent information. In preparing the Journal for publication, I have omitted several passages which were of interest only to myself and to my friends; and I have made many verbal alterations, which were rendered necessary hythe haste with which it was written. The Journal was not written with a view to publication; but on my return to England, some friends, who had seen it, strongly advised~ me to publish, as they thought that some fuller account of the attempt to reach Khartum in General Gordon''s steamers than has yet appeared should be given to the public. My reluctance to publish has delayed its appearance.
