TROOPS CROSSING TRH DESEItT.—A correspondent has
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 care alongside the
ship, and they were packed into them about three p.m.,
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
cever-id with canvas and sewn rcund, so as to
prevent the straps being cut cif by the Arabs
when crossing the desert. The heavy baggage
has previously gone on with an officer, se-geant,
and two men as guard. About five p.m. we start,
and arrive at the Nile about nine a.m., which we
cross by a floating bridge, taking about six carriages
at a time, and on our arrival at the other side, which
is called Kafa-Layat, the men in these six carriages have
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 thee 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 imme-
diately on arrival, which is about seven o'clock a.m.,
and a glass of grog besides. About eight o'clock we
start in ttlAys of 16 vans, each holding six persons, and
in every four hours after a similar number, each party
arriving at Suez in five hours, and are then immediately
put on hoard 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 i.arne 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

before
and as
the journey is so shoe-, if a man should fall sick he has
the snrgeon 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 Suez,
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
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 noel, an&
nothing could be bet'er than the time of year for the
t .00ps cros,ing,—Onited Service Gazette.
