"The frightful drain upon the country may be imagined by the following calculation, which is certainly below the truth: "If 1,000 loads of ivory must be carried to Ismailia, 2,000 cows are required as payment of carriers; A station of 350 men consumes daily . . . . 700 lbs. In addition, they require to exchange for flour . . . . 350 lbs. Daily consumption of flesh . . 1,050 lbs.

They then commenced a general massacre; in doing which, it was not necessary to take aim, for wherever the blow fell, it was sure to knock over a rat, none being allowed to escape by climbing over the walls.
