 The new route by train from London to Dover, across the Channel to Calais, and thence by train to Marseilles-which, by the way, has been term ed the "juup off place of the world, for many of the main arteries of traffic from Lcnden, Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg pass through it.

 So with this new route it IS possible for the Isondoner with only fortnight's holiday at his disposal to take sn excursion to Egypt. He would have a run seroes France and a fine sea voyage down the Mediterranean, and would be able to visit both Alexandria and Cairo. And the total cost need not exceed S20O.
