'Did I want a passage? 'No, I thought I would wait. Positive that my party could never have got here so soon, I nevertheless kept an eye on the galliot till she let go her stern-rope and slid away.
A flat Arab loaf had been given to each of them what effort of the chef of the post-boat had ever tasted like that dry brown bread? and then, luxury of luxuries, they had a second ration of a glass of water, for the fresh-filled bags of the newcomers had provided an ample supply.
Get on to your post now as quickly as you can." Railway to Baliani, the post-boat to Assouan, and then two days on a camel in the Libyan desert, with an Ababdeh guide, and three baggage-camels to tie one down to their own exasperating pace.
When it became known that we, too, were to sail, and under such distinguished escort, the excitement intensified.
