“ HOTEL ABBAT, 
“Alexandria, 
“ Easter 3Iondaij, 
Yesterday morning we left Cairo^ carrying with us the 
atfectionate farewells of the good, kind Ewings ; and several friends 
assembled at the railway station to bid us ^ God speed/ Fairly on 
our way, there rose not in any church Hallelujahs more fervent 
than those from our hearts and lips; and when, approaching 
Alexandria, the bright blue sea appeared, which we had thought 
never to have beheld again, reverently we returned thanks to ^ The 
Almighty, 
“ ‘ Who sitteth in the heavens, over all, from the beginning.’
