Particulars
When Hakki Pasha died in 1873, Emin returned to Neisse with the pasha's widow and children, passed them off as his own family, and left suddenly in September 1875.
He reappeared in Cairo, went to Khartoum where he arrived in December, took the name Mehemet Emin, started a medical practice, collected plant, animal and bird specimens, and sent many to museums in Europe; it is unclear whether he ever converted to Islam.
