She was in quarantine, as had been her case I believe for years, with the exception of a very few occasional days. Alexandria and Beyrout mutually vex one another with this restraint upon communication, more for political than sanatory reasons; and, as this luckless packet has two trips to make in each month, it may be supposed she is scarcely clear of one fortnight's quarantine, when she incurs another. How human nature can endure this perpetual imprisonment, under a broiling sun, in a coop of twenty feet wide, it is difficult to conceive. There is, moreover, almost always a swell at Alexandria, and generally a heavy sea at Beyrout, so that, even when at anchor, the little craft has as little rest as freedom. Yet her crew seemed as healthy and contented, and her officers as gentlemanly and good-tempered, as if she were the tranqnil flag-ship at Portsmouth. The Blue-Peter was flying on board this restless bark, and the English mails transferred from the Oriental steamer, when I hurried on board with my voluminous luggage. A man accustomed only to travel about England, with his couple of portmanteaus and a dressing-case, has little idea of the appurtenances of an Oriental traveller, There are no hotels by the wayside on his journey: the natives never travel except from dire necessity, and then seldom change their clothes until arrived at their destination: when night comes on, they lie down to sleep in the open air, or in some filthy khan. An Englishman, therefore, with any regard to cleanliness or comfort, is obliged to travel with an assortment of goods like those of an upholsterer, comprising every article his various exigencies may require, from a tent to a toa..., 4878, Egypt, 4873, Ancient Civilizations, 9, History, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 5001, Israel & Palestine, 4995, Middle East, 9, History, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 17029, Travel Writing, 27, Travel, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
