Note 43 — Chapter IX · MUHAMMAD ALI OPENS UP THE WHITE NILE
Reading edition
Petherick in his last book writes in eulogistic terms of the behaviour of this mere boy (so far as age went) throughout all the trying experiences that the Pethericks underwent in their journeys up and down the White Nile and the rivers of the Bahr-al-Ghazal. It would be interesting to know what became of Foxcroft after so promising a début in African travel.
