Having seen all things above mentioned If You
intend going up the Nile you must begin looking
about you for good dragoman and q gooi dana,
bteh from the second morning OF your arrival at
Cairo until you satisfied. II viii take you nine
Gays to see Lower Egypt from Cairo. 1t l. to be
hoped that you have been prudent and are ready TO
start on the voyage. Tie Nile voyage takes from
two to three months. II you are goln. only as far
months TO the second cataract three months. 1t is
indispensable, therefore, that you look out for
either not first rate will be continual source OF
irritation and anything that irrltates You while
you are on the Nile is like q serpent in Eden or
scoi pion under a beautiful plant. You win be at
no loss where TO find dragoman in SIX days. You
wiz have score OF them come to see you aud TO
show you their commentators. If you can
get good dragoman you can get good
boat. And II you can get good dragoinan don't go
and say that ne Is the best dragonlan IN the world
Or that your donkey boy IS the best 10 the world for

The above Is O very good guide TO Lower Egypt.
1t tells you about everything that ordinary travellers
care about seeing IN the Delta OF Egypt II Is plainly
written, aud the mos. direct and comprehensive

give you leave to open Murray and Bradshaw ana
compare these two with so much as what s con.

TO know how 10 get there you take t'le HERALD and
