Excerpt from The Campaign of the Cataracts: Being a Personal Narrative of the Great Nile Expedition of 1884-5, With Illustrations From Drawings by Lady Butler; Also a Map of the Nile From the Mediterranean to the Equatorial Lakes Although the Nile Expedition stands alone in the magnitude of its effort, the immense theatre of its operations, and, above all, in the heroic name which will be for ever associated with its object and its failure, history will nevertheless regard all that relates to the tragic chapter of Khartoum as incidents in the train of events which first assumed visible form before the eyes of men on the 11th of July, 1882, at Alexandria. Those events are still in process of development. In the following narrative of the Expedition I have confined myself as much as possible to a personal record of the scenes that passed beneath my own glance.
