Excerpt from The White Rhinoceros: With Thirty-One Plates

At 10 o'clock on the morning of January 7 our preparations for embarkation were complete, and we steamed out of the protection of the long sandspit of Butiaba into the teeth of a strong head wind. The little launch Kem'a towed all of the boats at the beginning of the voyage through the rough sea which had been kicked up by the wind. The wind dropped somewhat after we had been out a few hours and swung around to our stern, giving us a fair breeze. Sail was then hoisted on the James Martin and connection with the launch severed. Henceforward the boats made independent prog ress on the lake and down the broad waters of the sluggish Nile.
