Having put all these matters in trim, Gordon left Khartoum in the middle of the summer of 1877 for the western province of Darfour, The Life of Gordon. where a number of matters claimed his pressing attention. In that province there were several large Egyptian garrisons confined in two or three towns, and unable through fear, as it proved, but on account of formidable enemies, as was alleged to move outside them. The reports of trouble and hostility were no doubt exaggerated, but still there wa...s a simmering of disturbance below the surface that portended peril in the future ; and read by the light of after events, it seems little short of miraculous that General Gordon was able to keep it under by his own personal energy and the magic of his name. When on the point of starting to relieve these garrisons, he found himself compelled to disband a regiment of 500 Bashi-Bazouks, who constituted the only force at his immediate disposal. He had then to organise a nonde- script body, after the same fashion as he had adopted at the Equator, and with 500 followers of this kind of whom he said only 150 were any good he started on his march for the districts which lie several hundred miles west of the White Nile, and approach most nearly of the Khedive's possessions to Lake Tchad.
