The outpost at Barash, 200 miles upriver from Khartoum, is the first to come under attack. Among the ho>delessly outnumbered defenders is Richard Baker, a tough, unorthodox trooper who gets away on a river boat with Margaret Woodville, a prim English governess; her young native charge, Asua; and an inexperienced subaltern, Murchison. The small party, fugitives in a strange and frightening country, face death not only from ths Moslem, but from slave traders, hostile natives and predatory jungle beasts. Baker's brutal methods keep him at loggerheads with Murchison and the prim Margaret. Wen Asua becomes very ill, the small party is further impeded, and captured by jungle warriors.
