"The Boy Travellers in the Far East, Part Fifth" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work follows the adventures of two youths, Frank Bassett and Fred Bronson, as they embark on an exploratory journey through Africa under the guidance of Dr. Bronson, their mentor. The story aims to offer not only entertainment but also educational insights into the geography, culture, and history of the regions they traverse. The opening of the narrative sets the tone for Frank and Fred's new adventure, starting from Cairo as they finalize preparations for their journey into Central Africa. Here, they engage in lighthearted banter while packing supplies essential for survival in the harsh environment ahead. The boys learn about the necessity of careful planning, including the kind of currency appropriate for trade with local tribes and the essential supplies needed to navigate the challenges they will face in the desert and wilderness. As they embark on their travels, readers are introduced to the vivid and varied landscapes of Africa, as well as the dangers and adventures that lie ahead, including encounters with crocodiles and the intricacies of life along the Nile.
