This volume was published in 1898.From the book's Prompted by the earnest entreaties of my friends ratherthan by any wish of my own to relate my experiences, Ihave written these chapters.The few months which have elapsed since my escapehave been so much occupied in resuming my official duties,compiling reports, and satisfying the kindly interest displayedby a large number of people in my strange fate, that anyattempt at quiet and steady literary work has been almostimpossible.During my captivity I was unable to make any notes orkeep any diaries ; in writing, therefore, the following pages,I have been dependent entirely on my memory, whilst thewhirl of the busy European world, and the constant interruptions to which I have alluded, have given me little timeto collect my scattered thoughts.When, therefore, after having been debarred for so manyyears from intercourse with outside affairs, and entirely outof practice in writing down my ideas, I find myself urgedto lose no time in publishing an account of my adventures,I must beg my readers to excuse the many defects theymay notice.My experiences have no pretence to being of any literaryor scientific value, and the personal episodes I have describedcan lay claim to little importance ; I have merely attemptedto give to those interested in Sudan affairs a true and faithfulaccount of my life whilst fighting and serving the Mahdists.Rudolf Slatin.London,October, 1895.
