obstacle was removed by the river's current washing it 

 away." 



The Nile runs ebb the whole year. Mr. Waghom re- 

 commends the following route-: — From London to Ancona 

 by land in nine days ; thence to Alexandria by steam in 

 seven days ; to Suez in five days ; from Suez to Bom- 

 bay a steamer will generally accomplish the passage in 

 twenty-three days, including the stoppage at Mocha for 

 supplies. 



Before quitting the subject of steam, it may be as well 

 to mention that the Bengal government have adopted a 

 plan for establishing steam-tugs for towing passengers' 

 baggage, and cargo boats on the Ganges. Many persons 

 undergo more fatigue, and are sometimes longer in a voy- 

 age from Calcutta to the upper provinces than on that from 

 England. 



THE END.
