On our way, we passed by a large station called Bor station, where we found about four hundred soldiers, armed with rifles, and merchants. They welcomed us joyfully and offered us assistance. Then, Colonel Gordon informed their chief that they were now under the government's authority and that they should hand over their rifles and ammunition to him. The government decided to monopolize them. They were brought, and after that, the province of Bahr el Ghazal was formed (the province of Bor). A Sudanese officer named Adam Indy As was appointed as the governor of the province. He was one of the men of Baker Pasha's expedition. We then proceeded towards the region of Rejaf and Kordok, where Rauf Bey resided. We reached this station after ten days of travel by sea from Bor. We met Rauf Bey and the soldiers, and a lengthy discussion took place, as is customary in these Australian colonies. After some time, Colonel Gordon began to ask him about his government's actions and the state of the country. The late Rauf Bey began to recount his battles with the local tribes, saying that for eight years, we had not had a moment of peace. Gordon replied, "It seems to me that all these disturbances and troubles stem from poor administration and your failure to treat them with kindness and justice. You will see that all these soldiers and officers you have will be sent to other provinces, and only one hundred soldiers will remain to maintain public security and order." Rauf Bey said that this could not be done, because if one hundred soldiers were left alone here, the slaves would soon attack them and kill them all. Colonel Gordon then said, "Now I understand what Sir Samuel Baker said about you. I never thought that an officer of your rank would be like you."
