FROM PETHERICK’S NOTE-BOOK. 
25th . — Yesterday my wife^ though far from well^ accom- 
panied me to the shore^ to he as usual my time-keeper^ and a 
double set of observations were taken. Addressing her and receiv- 
ing no reply,, I found she was insensible. Carrying her first into 
the shade^ and conveying her from thence to the Kathleen/^ she 
remained apparently lifeless. When,, at last,, she opened her eyes,, 
she knew me not. Carefully noticing the symptoms of the attack, 
I found it was typhus fever : already delirium had seized her. 
Soon after my wife^s illness commenced, I moved from the fetid 
marsh, in which we had remained too long, and on the 2nd of this 
month were out of the Bahar il Gazal, and once more on the Nile ; 
hut it was only this morning (the 4th) that I indulged myself in 
the hope she was really recovering.
