he entertained a high respect From

General Baker. 1t was made UP of local

Il do not expect to. see any of them
return alive" observed Kitchener in
low tone to Mr. Ornstein. History tells
how Bakers command was all cut up
and the native troops became panic-
stricken. General Baker, with his prI
vate secretary alone, escaped to the
Government boat at Suakim, the prin
cipal port in the Soudan littoraI.
After this failure came the expedition

Morrell took part as staff fnterpreter

He, Kitchener. was looked up to as
the most capable man to lead the expe-
dition to rescue Gordon, though there
were many officers on the spot superior
to him in rank No one general had
supreme command, because Wolseley,
Graham and the other well-known
leaders had cleared out, so the Intelli-
gence Department had the organizing
of the affair.
Kitchener had by this time made him
self invaluable to the department. He
was thoroughly acquainted with the
customs of the Arabs and had made
personal friends with many powerful
Sheiks.

THE local Governors were mostly

were nominated from Constantinople
and their subjects were held i'll abso-
lutte servtude. Slavery f1ourished, too,
and knowing the English had forbidden
this, the Turks were 10th to allow a

with Kitchener it was different. He
was welcomed always with a broad
smile, and it is the same to-day When
Kitchener enters an Arab tent he is
very careful to observe all the pro-
prieties and speak the figuratiye flow

He first salams respectfully and then

general, is another of these amenities

they are in no condition to take the

Governor Black believes that during

the troops in camp at Fernandina and
that they should be moved north. where
they can regain their strength. Few, if
