Text Appearing Before Image: arer of my sword fell too, and the long-lost weapon wastaken from the field by a villager, from whom Mr. Cookpurchased it. To have lost my much-prized first sword inthe wilds of Darfur, and to find it again in the heart ofLondon, is almost more than a coincidence. During the last sixteen years I have led a life of strangevicissitudes, and I have endeavoured to narrate as simply asI could my unique experiences, in the hope that my storymay not only prove of interest to those who have shownsympathy with the hard fate of the European captives in theSudan, but with the most earnest desire that these, myexperiences, may prove of some value when the time foraction may arise, and when, if God wills, my services maybe utilized in helping to abolish the rule of my tyrannicalmaster and life-long enemy, the Khalifa Abdullahi, and re-establish in that country the Government authority Istruggled with some measure of success, but, alas! vainly,to uphold. ■ «r - »— ^- 0 12 KHARTUM and OMDURMAN Text Appearing After Image: : Mosque ibet el Mahdiahdis tomh)i tin Mosque 10.
