 Lime-juice, sugar, flour, rice, onions, potatoes, salt,

 that although the supply is most uncertain, deteriora-

 result that frequently even Europeans resident in the 

 Sudan have to do without potatoes for long periods. 

 Stores exported from England should, of course, be 

 packed in boxes that can immediately serve as half 

 camel-loads of 150 Ib. or 200 Ib. as the case may be, 

 and in my opinion should be provided with stout 

 hooks and chains for that purpose.
