About This Book

The narrative chronicles a relief expedition into central Africa prompted by political upheaval in the Sudan and the isolation of an imprisoned provincial leader. It follows the organizer's progress across the Congo basin, documenting encounters with diverse local communities, oppressive terrain, and logistical strain. The account records internal disorder, violent incidents that remove key officers, and the difficult junction when rescuers and the isolated leader finally meet. The retreat is portrayed as hazardous, marked by shortage of food, hostile activity, and arduous river and mountain travel. Interspersed chapters provide background on earlier explorers, regional geography, and the military and diplomatic circumstances that motivated the venture.
