Sidney Ensor joined an ambitious expedition charged with surveying a railway from the Nile toward El Fasher. His account follows the party from Wadi Halfa through Dongola and across the desert, recording the practical realities of camels, wells, caravan travel, local markets and unfamiliar terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eWritten with close observation and dry humour, this is both a travel narrative and an unusually detailed document of nineteenth-century Sudan.
