" Himself a master of the art of overcoming difficulties he expected his subordinates to be equally ready — and equally successful, whatever the circum- stance. This is illustrated in another of the many capital stories recorded by the " Staff Officer " already quoted. When Commander Keppel was making a river reconnaisance with a gunboat it was aground for seventeen hours on the faUing Nile, with Dervishes around, and a hundred miles from the army outposts. There were no small boats so a raft w...as made of odds and ends, and the anchor, weighing about a ton, was ferried on to a sandbank by forty stalwart '' gippies " — Egyptian soldiers — working up to their necks in water, the gunboat being success- fully warped off. A member of the party told a portion of the story to Kitchener on his return, " ' And how did you get the anchor to the sandbank ? ' he asked. ' Oh, ' I answered, ' onie of the crew swam across with the anchor in liis mouth/ *" Oh, really, ' was all Kitchener BEGINNING OF THE RECONQUEST.
