Fowler was insistent, an organised staff of competent engineers. It will be convenient to disentangle from other contemporary and pressing matters the history of the railway. A section of the railway was actually completed, but before long the pressure of financial distress brought the works to a standstill. A less ambitious programme became necessary. Accordingly, in January, 1877, we find Mr. Fowler conferring with His Excellency Ismail Pasha Ayoub, Governor of the Soudan, who had undertaken ...to complete the line by means of the resources of the Soudan. At an interview with the Khedive Mr. Fowler explained to SOUDAN EAILWAY 243 His Highness that the result of his conference with Ismail Pasha and Mr. Janson was that he was prepared to advise His Highness to proceed with the works of the Soudan Kailway, at such a rate of progress as would be consistent with the financial resources of the Soudan, as far as Hanneck, and that from Hanneck to Dabbeh (a distance of 258 kilometres), the river, which was there navigable at all seasons of the year, should for the present be adopted ; that from Dabbeh the railway should be made to Khartoum.
