“ Power fought desperately, each killing several of their assailants, but not one of the Europeans, men or women, survived this atrocious massacre. The bodies of some of them were afterwards found drifting down the Nile. ”

“ The disastrous course of affairs in the Soudan has been attended with the loss of several English lives of men distinguished for their enterprise and courage in the service of providing intelligence for the public Press. ”

“ Power was about twenty-five years of age, belonging to a good family in Ireland, and had for a short time held a commission in the Austro-Hungarian army. Mr. O'Donovan and Mr. Power were together at Berber, about July 20, 1883 on their way to join Hicks Pasha's army at Khartoum. The subsequent advance of that force to Kordofan was related, up to a certain point, in Mr. O'Donovan's last Daily News correspondence, and there is no doubt that he was killed in the massacre of the whole army in the field, early in November, when they approached the town of El Obeid. ”
