First sentence: AFTER a six-days' voyage from Malta to Alexandria, and a week spent among friends in the Delta and at Cairo, where I received the freshest news concerning the rebuilding of Khartum and the Sirdar's plans for the Sudan, I hastened to Ismailia and secured a cabin on board the P. and O. steamer Arcadia, a beautiful and comfortable vessel.
