TROOPS CROSSING TUB DESERT.—A correspondent hag
favoured us with the following sketch of the arrange•
ments made on the arrival of the troops at Alexandria :
As soon as the men had dined boats came alongside the
ship, and they were packed into them about threp p.rthe
with a blanket, knapsack, and sea-kit bag, with havre-
sack and water bottle over their shoulders. The former
are put into a truck, the knapsacks being previously
°overact with canvas and sewn round, so as to
prevent the straps being out off by the Arabs
when crossing the desert. The heavy baggage
has previously gone on with an officer, sergeant,
aanndd two men eant atsngenaxrdile.wwheinshtawrta,
About.infievenp.f.;
at a time, and on our arrival at the other side, which
cross by a floating bridge, taking about six carriages
is called Kafa-Layat, the men in these six carriages have
about
a good supper, with coffee, all ready prepared, and by
the time they are done the remainder have crossed, and
these then sit down. We they proceed to Cairo, arriving
about 12 p.m. ; change engines, and on to No. 12 station
in the Desert (25 miles from Suez), and here the rail
terminates, the men having a good breakfast bum..
diately on arrival, which is about seven o'clock a.m.,
and a glass of grog besides. About eight o'clock •we
start in relays of 16 vans, each holding six persons, and.
in every four hours after a similar numbei, each party
arriving at Suez in five hours, and are then immediately
put on board ship. The journey is thus accomplished in
about 16 or 18 hours. The government must think we
are a week in doing it, for they have sent Dr. Fraser
with a lead of champagne and other wines, a ton of
jelly, and other luxuries in the fame foolish proportion
as the jelly, to form a hospital at Suez. Such nonsense !
for water has to be carried 15 miles and the place is most
unhealthy ; and, moreover, there is no chance of any
man being very ill, for should any man be ill before
starting he is left behind and sent back to Malta, and as
the journey is so shore, if a man should fall sick he has
the surgeon of the ship at Suez to attend him when put
on board. Dr. Frazer has written home showing the
uselessness of forming the hospital. He has, however,
taken two or three rooms at Shepherd's Hotel, at Sues,
in case anything may require his services. It has amused
the English residents very much, the idea of an hospital
at such a place. The Australian mail steamer Tamar
arrived on the 27th of November, and leaves in the
evening. She has brought 281 men of the 69th, under
Major Fenwick. They start At 5 p.m. The Sultan is
expected with more of that regiment in two days, and
another vessel belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental
Company a few days after that with the remainder of
the regiment. The weather is delightfully cool, and
nothing could be better than the time of year for the
troops crossing.—United Service Gazette.
