over the rocks in the hills. We ate some breakfast 

 and started for Sahatee at eight o'clock, having said 

 good-bye to A. and Lord R.* I little thought on that

* Earl of Ranfurly, Captain Grenadier Guards, who died at Souakini, 

 on the Red Sea, May 10, 1S75, on board the steamer which was that 

 day leaving for Suez.
