plainly see the ruins of Khartum and
the Mahdfs tomb, white cone standing
out on the horizon. The brigade had but

strictly carried out and many fires were
burning far into the night. giving the enc
my a splendid opportunity Of following
their tactics as at Abu Klea, which was
to snipe us all night long.
However, not shot was fired, and
when the moon rose, flooding the whole
landscape with her soft, mellow light,
nothing but the heavy breathing Of the
troops and the occasional amorous bray
OF donkeys and growing Of camels broke
the stiffness. An order arrived at dawn
Tor the commander, Maj. Gordon, to cover

is served during the cool season. At 3 in

meal consists of fruit, bread, butter and

served at o'clock in the evening, and
is a formal occasion. The courses consist
of soup, side dish, two or more meat
