Prof. Chase, on his return from Africa to London, submitted the information, received from Col. Prout and Col. Long, to Gordon Pasha, who at that time was in England, and from him gathered in writing additional and valuable knowledge of the country, and the methods of procedure necessary for entering it. Prof. Chase also obtained an interview with Dr. Felkin, of the Church Missionary Society, who had just returned from Mtesa’s kingdom, by the way of the Nile and Souakim. From these gentlemen, and the current literature of the year pertaining to the Nile Basin, we are prepared to re-affirm and supplement the statements made by us a year ago:— 1.—The country is accessible. Col. Prout’s survey from Souakim on the Red Sea to Berber on the Nile, a distance of 240 miles, is reported with such fullness of detail as to familiarize the reader with almost every mile of the journey, impressing him with the feeling that a trip over the road at the right season would prove a pleasurable pastime. From Berber to the mouth of the Sobat, the northern border of the territory selected for the Mission, steamers with suitable accommodations ply with more or less regularity. To this it may be added that abundant supplies, except medicines, can be purchased along the route. 2.—The negroes from the Sobat to the Equator have not been Mohammedanized. They are real heathen, in very needy circumstances, and would, doubtless, welcome missionary endeavors, especially if trade and industries were promoted in connection with religious teachings. 3.—The efforts of the missionaries would have a very wholesome influence upon the Egyptian officials, and serve to check the slave-trade and to ameliorate the condition of slaves. 4.—It would be the part of wisdom to locate our first stations where the people are already protected by the Egyptian Government, as their flag would be sure to follow if new fields were opened, and with it, temporary disturbance. Pressure should be brought to bear upon the Khedive for obtaining permission to navigate the Nile with steam-boats, and for freedom and protection while pursuing missionary work at the points selected. 5.—While it would be desirable to commence at once, for many reasons, among the Obbo and Latooka, south-east of Gondokoro, yet it would probably be the part of prudence to plant our first station near the mouth of the Sobat, where the country is rolling and well-wooded, and the people of the Nouer tribe are friendly to missionary endeavors. From this point, there is frequent and not difficult communication with Khartum, which is a sufficient base of supplies. From the mouth of the Sobat, mission stations may be extended throughout the region we hope to occupy.
