Editing Samuel Baker (section)

==Later life==
He published his narrative of the central African expedition under the title of ''Ismailia'' (1874). ''Cyprus as I saw it in 1879'' was the result of a visit to that island. He spent several winters in Egypt, and travelled in India, the [[Rocky Mountains]] and Japan in search of big [[Game (food)|game]], publishing in 1890 ''Wild Beasts and their Ways''.

He kept up a correspondence with men of all shades of opinion upon Egyptian affairs, strongly opposing the abandonment of the Sudan by the British Empire and subsequently urging its reconquest. Next to these, questions of maritime defence and strategy chiefly attracted him in his later years.

In November 1874 he purchased the Sandford Orleigh estate in [[Newton Abbot]], Devon, England, where he also died after a heart attack, at the age of 72, on 30 December 1893. He was cremated and his ashes buried in the Baker family vault at Grimley Saint Bartholomew Churchyard in [[Grimley, Worcestershire]].
