wind dropped, or I cannot guess where we should 

 have been. We heard at Tur that an English ship 

 was on the Zafarina reef. They also told us that it 

 was blowing so hard that ships' boats could not get 

 ashore from the vessels lying in the roads at Suez. 



• April 1 1. — At last I have arrived at the end of my 

 journey, but more by good luck than good manage- 

 ment. We dropped our anchor at eight o'clock in 

 the Suez roads, having just got four tons of coal left. 

 If these had run out we should have had to go back 

 to Jidda for coal, or else gone ashore in a boat and 

 trudged up to Suez. 



Here my Journal ends. And I hope no other 

 unhappy mortal who may go travelling in search of- 

 sport will ever have such a journey home as mine has 

 been.
