  impossible to describe the carving. This

  building now is used as a home for the

  priests who sleep in the very small cubicles’ & it

  is very strange how they manage to sleep in

  such a very small stuffy place.

   

  I have here a very interesting statement to make

  one that has come as a great surprise as we never

  knew any thing about it untill we received a

  note of thanks from Suez whilst on shore at

  Suez. As I have stated in another part of this book

  we were put up for the night in a convent &

  when we were again on board the Descado we

  made a collection for these people as a kind

  of thanks for their Kindness. Well This money

  was given to the offices to hand over but

  instead of doing so, it was all sent to a

  club in Suez that had put up the officers for

  the night. In proof of this I am putting

  here a copy of a letter sent acknowledging

  this.
