Book Description
Excerpt from Nyasa, the Great Water: Being a Description of the Lake and the Life of the People I have to exercise considerable self-control and repress my desire to say all I know and have thought about Will Johnson ever since I went as a boy to the Grammar School at Bedford in 1877. He had then left the school and Oxford too; but he was still one of our heroes, chiefly I suppose for his prowess as the Stroke of the School Four and Stroke of his College VIII when Univ. went head of the river, and for his success in gaining from the School an appointment in the I.C.S. Behind his prowess and intellectual success lay greatness of soul and gifts of real leadership. These had led naturally to his determination to leave all and obey the call of his Master to the Mission Field in Africa. Then dear old 'Seppy' Phillpotts used to keep us informed of his work and encouraged us to provide 'the Ousel' for his voyages on Lake Nyasa. He would have made a great administrator in India, and no doubt the Service itself suffered a loss by his decision to dedicate his gifts to the work of a missionary in Africa. It is worth while to recall this by way of preface to his book on Nyasa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
