Text Any textual data included in the document. Diary 1 Travel to Egypt, 1904-1905 Page 3: The account of the short voyage of the dahabeah "Aboo=Simbel" from Elephantine island - [Assouan] to Luxor. Winter 1904-5 and the time spent there, on the West bank of the river. The "Aboo=Simbel" left the sand bank, where she had laid two weeks or more on Saturday afternoon. December 17th a little after two o'clock and left "Mr. Joe" and the owners of the boat and the black bunch of wives and mothers of the crew - standing there on the bank. Wind strongly blowing up the river. The ships company and crew are as follows. Father and Mother Smith, Mrs. Joe - "Rebecca" - "Tiny" and Jeannet, Yacirrty - and "Mr. Joe" [to join later.] The crew.. Dragoman Dowe (e accent) Mahomet. Captain Ali Sadi Steward Abdalla Mahomet. 1st mate Alobi Cook Abdu Rahman 2nd mate Esia Captain's Cook Sailors Margan Seeam Osmayn took Yasenes place (all four words underlined) Shaihi Pater on joined at Luxor Mahomet in the "Rebecca and Frances" by Yaaseen Page 5: At about sunset, the "Aboo=Simbel" had successfuly (sic) crossed the river, and lay on a sandbank close to the "St. James Hotel" about a three minutes walk from her starting place at Elephantine and there she was visited by Mr. Joe - who came to say goodnight and wish them a pleasant journey. On a great pile of boulders, which jut out into the stream, at this point, he sat, and saw his home and household, float away out of sight and into the dimness of early night. Little voices from the small enclosed deck at the stern, shouting out goodnights. When the deserted one, clambered back to the bank, from his last sight of the floating home, he was surprised to see the small boat, landing one of the crew, with all his belongings in a roll - a sick uncle had inconsiderately arrived from Cairo, and this boy, who was a very nice willing fellow, was obliged to give up his place, in the dahabeah (a underlined). The family were surprised, at the choice made, to fill this place in our crew. - "Gummy" came aboard, roaring drunk - our old friend Ousmaine, of Ameer el Wuz days. His advent closes the day, as the opposite bank, was reached and tied to, and Assouan's lights twinkling hardly two miles away. Spent the night, below, the Tomb of Gnanneld. Page Blank: We found out later on that Ousmaine drinks the ------- (connected line pointing to wine on following page) methylated spirits. Page 7: SUNDAY. DECEMBER 18th. Left our moorings at five oclock and made slow progress, for an hour, and then a long wait was made, which was inexplicable for a time. At length the small boat appeared, with Mahommed and Ousmaine - we had been waiting for their return from Assouan, where the Carter had gone, with Reis Ali's permission to leave money [paid him in advance by the Reis] with his family Little Mohammed had been told to go with Ousamaine, and not loose (sic) sight of him, but had misunderstood directions, or had been eluded by Gummies slyness. - for the wine that is red, had been looked at and freely partaken of, and the poor old sot, came alongside, once more in splendid spirits. Mahommed was pounded for his failure to guard Ousmaine better, while he was scolded and his turban pulled off - disclosing the remains of the thirty five piasters, which he had started off with. Gummy certainly was not making a good impression. After throwing away a bottle, secreted in the small boat, the dhabeah was once more *put (inserted above the line) in motion. Gummies voice turned to a high key, in the singing. A bad head wind made progress impossible, and about two oclock we landed and made fast at a small island - named Kooban - here we spent the afternoon and night. I walked upon its sands by moonlight, and enjoyed the ill wind which drove us to that haven. Page 9: MONDAY DECEMBER 19. Made an early start, and at noon reached Kom Ombo twenty six miles from Assouan. Landed and saw the temple and an hour later resumed our voyage - and met and saluted a dhahabeah and an Anglo=American Steamer. Ousmaine perfectly sober. In the afternoon about sundown came to Fars, and there tied up for the night, and walked by *a (strikethrough)(insert) splendid moonlight after dinner. TUESDAY DEC 20. Started about five this morning, and went all day, stopping at seven in the morning at Gebel Silsileh, where we saw the temples or chapels, and afterwards resumed our way. A strong head wind blew all the afternoon. At Sunset we had reached Silwa - where we spent the night. WEDNESDAY. Dec 21 Started earlier than ever before, from Silwa - this morning, and reached Edfou about two, *having tracked for some hours (inserted above line of text) passing magnificent scenery on the way. The two Grandparents went off on a wild goose chase, in the small feluka, over to the other bank, to the Railway station, hunting for "Mr. Joe" who it was thought might possibly be there waiting. *A sheep was promised the crew. (inserted below line) Page 11: When they returned empty handed, son less, the temple was visited before darkness came down, and four police with lanterns appeared as we were leaving who wondered at our visiting the temple in darkness, and tried to illuminate its grand proportions by magnesium lights, but failed entirely in their endeavor - Had a Fantasia tonight - Gummy to the fore - They advized (sic) Dowe (accent on e) that we needed two watchmen for our boat, because Edfou was such a bad place - we don't know how many watched over us, from the bank that night, a shilling was all the vigil cost us however. Telegram from Joe, saying to expect him Friday. THURSDAY DEC 22. Sheep not bought. Dowe (accent on e) pronouncing it too dear. - the feast postponed. Next morning after an early breakfast, we again visited the temple, 242 steps up the great Pylon and about nine oclock went aboard, and left Edfou. but an hour afterwards our old enemy the North wind proved too much for us, and Edfou, remained in sight all the rest of the day, until about six oclock we started again, and went all night. or (strikethrough) FRIDAY DEC 23 About nine oclock reached El Kab, and went at once across the desert to see the tombs, after lunch - sent to meet Joe - men returned in the felouka about four without him. The only afternoon train from Assouan having failed to bring him to the station of Mahomed - Most of the afternoon after their return, spent in spirited conversation, as to what we Page 13: had better do. Decided to wait at El Kab - until the next day. Ate up the grand feast prepared for the home coming son and husband, and about ten thirty the Grandparents having just gotten into bed, a feeble yell for "Dowe" (accent e) startled the stillness of the night, and Mr. Joe slid off his donkey and boarded the "Abou Simbel" followed by two night watchmen with guns *and a donkey boy (last four words written above line) - bearing also two beds - a rocking chair, a bag, camp chair, three canvasses and an easel. This is Joe's story. The station master at Assouan sold me a ticket to Edfou, saying that El Kab, was nearer that station than Mahomed, so I left the train there and beds, rocking chair, and the other impedimenta followed, and I watched the train go off, and then asked a donkey boy, if there was a dhabeyah at El Kab - and how far off was El Kab, - The station master told me I should have remained on the train as Mahomed was nearer. My only piece of good fortune was, that there happened to be an extra freight train, which was expected in about two hours, and this I waited for, waited 5 hours for it, and found myself at a deserted, desolate, hamlet, at eight oclock - and after a long wait while donkeys and men were found and waked up, by the station master, I again started on my quest of my family. An hour's ride, in the splendid moonlight, during which time a large owl so startled the donkey with the beds on him that he sat down outright, brought me at length to a dhabeah - but not mine - but Mr. Summers (sic) Clarke. Page 15: This was a blow indeed, as the day had already been full enough of disappointments and fatigue - but there was nothing to do but retrace our steps, which we did and at 10:35 I arrived, as already noted above. SATURDAY DEC 24 Started off early and drifted delightfully all through a perfect day. Through fine scenery, with far away distant mountains - the mountains of Thebes, and Luxor. About seven oclock we reached Esneh, and the two mothers filled a pair of stockings with Christmas presents for the little people tomorrow morning. CHRISTMAS (graphic) SUNDAY. DECEMBER TWENTY FIFTH Santa Claus comes to dahabeah's, as well as to homes with chimneys, and we all enjoyed the opening of the stockings stores. Grandma's offerings were in perfect taste and wisdom of years experience, was shown, by pairs (underlined) of things, so that envy could hardly appear to man that day - eyes in one little head however looked with even greater interest on sisters share, than her own - while the baby would not let go one gift to search for and open another, as she feared it was the old trick of parents, to substitute one thing for another. Jeanette gave the babies charming little amber necklaces, from Constantinople which they will appreciate some day. The entire family went ashore, and, followed by many citizens of Esneh, visited Page 17: its famous temple and attractive baazars. A sheep was bought, and at length the promised feast is in sight. "Gummy" came aboard this morning, with a surprising gait on - which he attributed to a wounded foot - he was put out of light, but subsequently made his escape and made a second addition to his spirited condition. We sailed soon after luncheon - and waited in mid stream, while Gummie was sought for in the town, and at length brought to us in the small boat, in a very glum frame of mind, refusing to take an oar - as soon as he got aboard He was rudely thrust below the deck, and called bad names. A wonderful sunset ended Christmas day on the Nile, and a full moon soon continued the beauty of travel in this fashion, and our crew kept the boat in mid stream through the night, and only stopped when Luxor was all but in sight. MONDAY DEC 26 Drifted down to Luxor in two hours this morning, and tied up to the shallow bank on the Thebes side of the river, and made arrangements for a long stay - pitched the tent on the sand - put out a permanent gang plank, etc etc. and went to Luxor for mail. Three Hoopers were found, and we took tea with Ellen at the Luxor Hotel and met Mrs. Dr. Saunders, to whom we had a card of introduction from Dr. Sandwirth The Ameer el Wuz, he's near Cooks landing on the Luxor side and on our side a big dahabeah named the "Dongola" is moored near us, on the sand bank. Page Blank: *The cook made two amusing ibis decorations out of napkins - for the table. see - photograph. Page 19: TUESDAY DEC 27. Ellen Hooper and her two sisters came to luncheon to=day. Great preparations were made by Dowe (accent on e) and the cook, and everything went off very smoothly, and our guests who had never been before on a dahabeah - seemed to greatly enjoy themselves - The sailors gave a great fantasia afterwards, and then took the ladies over to Luxor, in the small boat. WEDNESDAY. DEC 28. Joe spent the morning at Karnak and picked out subjects enough to keep him busy for weeks. Mother and Dowe (accent on e) interviewed the dealer in Antiquities whose wife milks cows, but the result seemed rather vague, and indefinite, and we don't know much more about the great milk question than we did before, and I daresay the great "bear brand." is the one bright star in our milky way. Work has been begun by the painter, at Luxor temple, a charming head of a priest of Mut. Mother sat and watched, and gave valuable advice, and made some measurements with her sunshine. Afterwards she and the painter roamed around in the temple and were surprised by two little bints in red coats, with a mother, and Abdalla and Shay in attendance. Their study of Egypts antiquities is most profound. Mrs. Olgilivie called this afternoon at the boat and found Corinna and Grandpa. Page 21: THURSDAY DEC 28 (strikethrough)(insert) 29 A cold, fine morning. The painter went donkeying to the Ramesseum and Medinet Habu this morning and found more subjects to paint. Corinna and Ellen Hooper also came over on the same excursion two hours later and called on Mrs. Quibell, who had just returned from calling on us at the boat. Ellen Hooper stayed to luncheon, with us. The painter worked at the Luxor temple and at 4.30 joined Grandma and Corinna at tea with the Saunders at the hotel. The children had made a formal and well behaved call, earlier in the afternoon and with Dowe (accent e) and the cook in their best clothes, attracted considerable attention Grandpa and Dowe (accent e) brought over from Luxor this morning, quite a lumber supply, which is to be used, in making a contrivance, for the ease and comfort of the painter, and the safety of the oil pictures which are to be painted at Karnak. FRIDAY DEC 30. The painter went this morning to Karnak and presented Maspero's letter of introduction to M. Legrand, the director there, who was very pleasant and desirous of being of any service he could. Joe asked to have a staging put up, so he could get a good position to do some of the reliefs on the exterior of the sanctuary, and M. Legrand instantly called Page Blank: Rebecca said this morning "I have just said good morning to Mrs. (underlined) Reis Ali" which is her first remark concerning the dress of the Egyptians Page 23: an Arab and gave the directions, he promised to show us over the recently excavated portions, soon - where he found so many fine things last Winter. A quiet morning at the dahabeah, children playing with Grandpa in the sand At twelve thirty we all met at the Luxor Hotel to lunch with the Hooper girls a very festive occasion, with charming flowers on the table, and a very good lunch indeed. Mr. Ogilvie leaves Luxor to-day for Cairo, and is good enough to go to Spiros to order me some more canvas for the Karnak work. After luncheon - the painter went to Luxor temple to paint on his Priest of Mut, and Grandma and Grandpa and Corinna were invited to go to Karnak with the Hoopers - Grandma in a chair with porters. The babies and Jeanette came over to the hotel to meet them on their return but sunset time approached and they crossed over with Papa to the dahabeah and welcomed them uproariously from the windows of the sitting room. Apple fritters to-night, a great success. Dowe (accent e) comes in every night directly after dinner is over and Abdalla has cleared off the table, - and gives an account of the day's expenses to Corinna who is keeping sum of all the expenditures of the trip Rebecca sits up on the sofa before dinner and eats her supper at the little shelf, Grandpa put up for the lamp and the goolahs, and just before we sit down to the table, Tiny comes in to kiss us all good night chuckling and gurgling with pleasure. Both babies go to sleep at once, and sleep splendidly well. The big dahabeah, Dongola - left this morning for up stream. Page 25: SATURDAY DECEMBER 31. LAST DAY OF THE YEAR The artist of the family, went to Karnak this morning as usual, on donkey 47, and the box father made, was taken on the heads of two boys, at the same time Corinna was called for by the Hoopers about 10-30 and went over to the Quibells where she and Ellen lunched, and afterwards went into some recently opened tombs, of the Queens - with Mrs. Quibell a most delightful experience. They afterwards took tea there and arrived back at the boat at sunset. Joe worked again in Luxor temple in the afternoon having mother for company, and father part of the time. The children's bath tub came this morning, so that they will no longer have to take their bath in the pan, for washing dishes. Just before dinner, while Abdalla was setting the table, the crew began the darahbouka and singing, and Rebecca, in her nightdress came running out, and danced charmingly, in perfect time, on the deck, to the great enjoyment of the sailors, as well as the family It is one of the prettiest sights to see the sweet little fairy dancing there in the semi- darkness - surrounded by the dark skinned crew. She and Shaihi danced together Reis Ali and father between them fixed up a swing - made out of a milk can box, two oars and some roap (sic), and the Reis spent a good part of the morning swinging both children The big Cook, dahabeyah Ammon Ra, came up the river this afternoon, and anchored quite near us, on the sand bank. Beautiful sunset tonight, with cloudy sky. Page 27: SUNDAY JANUARY 1 FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR 1905. A still, windless day, partly cloudy, and warm. Joe painted at Karnak in the morning, walked there, and back, for variety in less than half an hour each way. After a very big mid day meal - [in honor of the day], went over to Luxor again, and at 5, had finished the picture of the priest of Mut, in the temple - and went with Grandpa to an antiquity shop, to see a piece of hieroglyphic, which we saw the other day, and had been bargaining for - our repeated offer - of one pound (L British pound sign), was accepted, and we came away with the prize under Joe's arm - a present from Corinna - [the asking price was two pounds]. The steam dahabeyah - of the Monds arrived to-day. Corinna took both babies over to Luxor hotel, this morning to say good bye to the Hoopers, who left for Assouan, at 2.30 by Post boat. Grandpa made a sleigh to=day, for the babies, out of a soap box, barrel staves and brains - and Joe and Shaihi dragged them about in the sand at sunset time, great fun for everyone. In the dusk, we saw a big dahabeyah stealing up, through the mist, which has come at sundown, the last few nights. Dowe (accent e) says she belongs to Prof Sayce. The other big boat the Ammon Ra, left this afternoon for Assouan. Page 29: MONDAY. JAN 2. Clouds, sunshine and very hot to-day Work went on at Karnak this morning, and a small head in sunlight, in the interior walls of the marble sanctuary was finished A water color was begun, in the afternoon, in Luxor temple, a figure of Rameses. Corinna and Joe went and (strikethrough)(insert) to make a call on the Mond's this afternoon, and found them both aboard their boat. Dowe (accent) received a telegram today from Amam, [his brother at Philoe (oe combined letter)] saying the little boat, we sent for, had been sent, and we shall begin to look for her, on some big felouka, tomorrow or the day after. TUESDAY JAN 3. The painter went as usual to Karnak, and worked all the morning. Shaihi decorated the Theban side of the river, with the wash - which made a gay sight flying, from our wash lines. Mr. Mond called this morning with his little girl Frieda, who made friends with our kids at once In the afternoon Grandmother Corinna and Rebecca went on donkeys over to call on the Quibells, and found them both at home - it was the little girls first real donkey ride, and she did very well, and enjoyed herself greatly. Work went on at Luxor temple as usual, after luncheon Grandpa subscribed to the library, at Luxor Hotel this afternoon and took out two books. - ordered a new galibeah for Shaifi this morning. Page 31: WEDNESDAY Jan 4th K (graphic) means Karnak, and L (graphic) means Luxor temple, and these two letters will hereafter, be used in this journal, when the painter has worked in those temples. The canvas, ordered by Mr. Ogilvie in Cairo, came this afternoon, at any rate we got it to-day, so tomorrow the painter can begin his large picture, of the procession of priests, on the sanctuary of Philip at Karnak. Corinna and Joe, took tea with Prof Sayce on his dahabeyh this afternoon, and returned to our boat later to find an Arab caller - a teacher from the American Mission School - come to make arrangements about giving Mrs. Quibell and Corinna lessons in Arabic. The little Mond girl came this morning with her French maid to play with our babies. Grandma none the worse for her long donkey back excursion of yesterday, went over to Luxor temple and had it all to herself this morning while Dowe (accent) went to market. Grandpa goes with Dowe (e accent) on these occasions and is rapidly learning the business of dragoman. The tent was taken down to-day and washed, and tomorrow we shall present a more godly appearance. THURSDAY JAN 5th K (graphic) and L (graphic). Corinna went with Joe this morning and studied Arabic, under the scaffolding, while the painter worked above, on it. We met M. Legrand, who was very pleasant and entertaining, telling us some amusing stories about the thieving which goes on - at Karnak, and how people have to be watched - people who know better. Page 33: Jeannette, Totty, Tinie, Shaihi and Abdalla came into the temple, to stop Papa from working any more - at five oclock, and back across the river we all came to the dahabeyah - to find Mr. and Mrs. Quibell calling, and soon after Prof. Sayce came over from his boat, and made a call too. Mr. Quibell spoke very enthusiastically about the piece of stone, we bought the other day. and said it was a fine piece, XXVI Dynasty. Today we are made acquainted with the fact that the little boat, coming to us from, Amam, at Shelall, is being rowed down, to Luxor, by a single Arab, - so that days may pass before he turns up. Grandpa and Dowe (accent) look up the river every morning, with hope. Bedoui Fadill - our old landlord of the Ameer el. Wuz, seems to be our guest, at least, a guest of our Captain and Crew - he spent last night on the boat, asked for an eye wash - said good bye to all - departed for Assouan, and to-night is sitting comfortably beside the dish of live coals on our deck again. To day we heard that Port Arthur had fallen BANZAI (graphic) Wrote to Baron Kaneko, congratulating him on the great victory of his countrymen. Page 35: Friday Jan 6th K. (graphic) and L (graphic) to-day. A very hot summer like day, with South Wind until late in the afternoon when it came again from the North West. Egyptian callers came this afternoon, and Father entertained them. Mohammed left us to-day for Assouan, in company with Bedoui Fadill. Grandpa put up the tent to-day, and we know (underlined) it is cleaner than it was, but it hardly looks very different. Last night a Christmas pudding all afire, came in, and we started in with a will to eat it all up, but it weighed too much - and when Abdalla left the room, we all deliberated as to how it could be disposed of, without eating it, and without hurting the feelings of the cook, who had spent much time on its construction. It came again to table to-night, and Grandpa volunteered to dispose of a large quantity, in the morning, when he makes his early promenade across the sands, before breakfast. Grandpa accepts the popular verdict, that his white linen hat is not fit to be seen in, and threw it away, and Esia rescues it from the Nile, where it was thrown and Dowe (accent) appears in it, to-night after dinner, masquerading as a beggar. Corinna Jeanette, and both babies, went donkeying to Der el Bahri this afternoon, and had a delightful time arriving home again at sundown. The painter brought home his picture finished from Luxor temple to-night Saw Mr. Lapsley this afternoon in the temple. No chickens can be found in Luxor - and we look with gourmandic eyes Page 37: on the choice little poultry yard of Prof Sayce's, which we pass and repass, so many times a day on our way too (sic) and from Luxor. - Grandpa worked with devotion this morning on a "settee" for Tinie. The "Mayflower" up from Cairo, and the "Puritan" down from Assouan, to-day. The town full of "Anglo Americans" and many donkey laden felluka's pass our windows at an early hour, and receive Totty's morning salutations from the windows of Mama's room. We still are eating Charles MacVeagh, whose steamer "goodies" have so wonderfully lasted. Intimations of trouble between Reis and crew, details vague, and, untrustworthy at present, but some fire likely, where smoke is seen, we know nothing until the storm breaks - it may never come to a head. JAN. 7th SATURDAY. K (graphic) all day. Taking his lunch with him, which included a large hunk of the pudding which has held out so well - Grandpa took off his large share before breakfast this morning and buried it in the sand, far away from the boat, and possible exhumation by any of our crew, we now pray, he will never do so again [the cook] Corinna and Mrs. Quibell took their first Arabic lesson this morning, and she afterwards staid (sic) to luncheon. Mother and Corinna walked up to Karnak in the afternoon and came home with the Painter. Many letters from home to-day, including one from Mrs. Gardner - and one from Denman with newspaper cuttings about the Velasquez. Page 39: Corinna had [from Ethel] Henry Jame's new book "The Golden Bowl" which she is now devouring with delight. No small boat yet. Dowe (accent) says "to-morrow" - the Spaniards also have that word. Grandpa bought a new hat to-day, and to the families (sic) astonishment, it is like the old one. He narrowly escaped being punished and put to bed, without his "ruks" Rebecca and Frances took Jeannette, Dowe (accent) and Shaihi [in his new galibeah] to see Luxor temple again late this afternoon. They feel that the hieroglyphic cows, ducks, and owls are better in that temple than in any other of their vast experience. All the hard and soft drinks, bought in Cairo are gone, we feel very penitent, and very ashamed of the appetite, but are ordering more, and also more biscuits and crackers etc. Grandma threw prunes promiscuously about. Tonight in one of the rooms, less illuminated by "Lady Brassey's" rays, she went to bed directly after wards. SUNDAY. JANUARY 8th Papa and Grandpa stayed at home all the morning, and played with the two babies in the sand, in the tent, in the swing and sled, and had a beautiful time. Papa took over a dozen photographs of the scenes of the morning. Grandma - Corinna and Jeannette went over to Luxor to church - and heard Prof Sayce give a very interesting sermon, quite stirring in part, they said. After a very good luncheon, Grandpa - Corinna and Joe, went on donkeys to the new tombs discovered last year by Mr. Mond, and also went to the tombs of the Queens, and afterwards went to the Quibells and had tea - the Host and Hostess being absent, but we were expected. Ends a charming day. Page Blank: Despite rumors, before mentioned in these pages, our men, seem happy and contented, and no more is heard of their leaving, because the captain won't pay them etc. ct. At present, we have on board, the following men. Reis Ali - Alobe - Esia - Shaihi - Seeam, and Dowe (accent) - Abdalla - Abdu Rahman, and now Yaaseen. Page 41: MONDAY JAN 9th Work began again at Karnak this morning, and a new picture started at Luxor temple Prof. Sayce sailed away this morning - up the river, and we are now the sole dahabeyah on this side of the river - he took away all his hens with him, and this will end the great, daily joke with Alobe, about stealing them for our consumption. TUESDAY JAN 10th Warm and Summerlike - perfect weather. Dr. Saunders says the season is exceptionally fine, and a wonderful contrast to last Winter which was cold and windy - we get reports from Cairo, telling of wet cold very unpleasant weather there. K. (graphic) and L (graphic) Mr. Quibell called this afternoon, and when he left he took Rebecca with him for a donkey ride - and she came back afoot with Abdalla. Mrs. Saunders also called to-day, and asked some of us to go to the races, on Thursday afternoon. Corinna and Grandma, Jeanette and Tinie came over to bring "Papa" home, - and on our way across the river, Grandpa and Rebecca, appeared in the little felouka, rowed by Shaihi - the sight was most amusing, as the little tub looks as tho (sic) she was upside down or wrong side out, queer in every aspect, - she arrived, about four oclock, with Yaaseen as Reis and Crew, cook and passenger, all in one. We are to paint her bright red, and her name is to *be (inserted above text) Rebecca and Frances. Page 43: WEDNESDAY JAN 11th K (graphic) and L (graphic) Bright sunny day - with a cold West wind - Corinna went with Joe this morning to Karnak - poor donkey, native saddle - poor reins poor bridle - no bits - bad stirrups, and yet she stayed on, and seemed to enjoy the journey as she certainly did, the mornings quite (sic) study, and a pleasant conversation with Mr. Legrand. Mother and Jeanette attended church this afternoon, and were the only worshipers there The little boat was painted this morning by Dowe (accent) and Shaihi - bright red, with blue and white trimmings, and quite improved and transformed THURSDAY JAN. 12th One of the most perfect days, neither hot nor cold. K (graphic) and L. (graphic) The painter went to Karnak this morning by boat, *the Rebecca & Frances (inserted above line), a new and very pleasant way, taking a little under half an hour, from the boat, to my work - came home at mid day in a perfect calm, so our sail was useless, and it took 45 minutes. Dowe (accent) and Shaihi came down the shore a little distance and "tracked" us along. Georgie Lee and her husband arrived in Luxor this morning by train and left at 2, for Assouan by Cook Post boat, leaving a letter for us, saying they would return to Luxor next Wednesday to stop a week. "Popper's" work was brought to an end this afternoon by the arrival of the dear little procession and their faithful attendants, Jeannette Dowe (accent), Shaihi, and with Grandma who had been most of the afternoon in the temple - all took a walk together out past Page 45: the shops near Cooks landing stages, and Rebecca did some bargaining for some beads and other trinkets, all laid out in most tempting array by the roadside. Corinna and Mrs. Quibell took their Arabic lesson, this afternoon, and later had tea and Mr. Mond, fresh from tomb digging joined us all, and made a very interesting call. The Marquis Rudini came to Karnak this morning. Most of our men gone to an Arab theater this evening and no sounds on deck of the dominoes being shuffled about. It transpires that Reis Ali - is brother to the Shelall owner of the dahabeyah which is of course a great surprise - Dowe (accent) says he told us this fact, the day we sailed but in the excitement of departure from Elephantine - his information made no impression on us. A cable this morning from Amy Lowell - telling the subjects she wants painted A steam dahabeyah went down river this afternoon and saluted - she had an American flag at the bow - and has been four days or more here at Luxor - there are two others flying the flag, still here, one of them we believe hired by Mr. Archer Livinstone of New York, friends of Corinna's. Dowe (accent) is to find out to-night. FRIDAY JAN 13th. Joe and Rebecca and Jeanette went to Karnak this morning with Dowe (accent), Alobe, and Yaaseen, - and Rebecca was stopped at the entrance of the temple by a stupid or over zealous guardian who demanded her temple ticket, we had quite a long parley, to bring him to reason, and the letter from Maspero had to be shown him [which he, confessed he was unable to read], meanwhile the little scamp had run in, by herself. Page 47: and was seeing all she could before being put out. She was immensely interested in the little boys who carry the baskets in the excavations, and they also in her - and work was almost brought to a standstill, so that we had to retire. Jeannette took her home, after we had all walked around a while, and the "Amy Lowell picture" was painted on. Corinna came about 12, by donkey, and cooked a nice luncheon - hot soup and scrambled eggs - and then we put in a long afternoon of work - she Arabic and French - and the painter on his picture. Mrs. Dexter and Mrs. Beals appeared this morning in Ibrahim's tow - [Anglo-Ameri- -can Line SS. (underlined SS.) Victoria, arrived last night]. A good West wind brought us home in the small boat in 35 minutes where a warm welcome awaited us from *the (inserted above line of text) small kids Received photograph of fine cufic inscriptions for sale in Granada - $1000 - Dowe (accent) brought in his pink galabeah, which came from Mecca - and put it on the painter this evening, and with a tarbush on, he made a salute to the crew who called him Effendi. Everybody went to mosque to-day except Reis Ali. Books came to-day from Harry and Belle Greene and an Arabic grammar. Beautiful day, with fine mottled, cloudy sky. Finished Amy Lowell's picture. Page 49: SATURDAY JAN 14th Yaaseen and Alobe sailed the painter down to Karnak this morning, in a mild South West wind, - a good mornings work was put in, and M. Legrand was very interesting, showing photograph of his work - and a new piece of digging he has just begun - where he hopes for great results. Joe walked home at mid day, and found Grandma in the felouka waiting - she has rescued a poor little bird, which had been maltreated by a beast, - a man. Work in Luxor temple went on as usual in the afternoon. Mrs. Quibell came for her Arabic lesson with Corinna this morning. At 4, the entire Smith family with Jeanette and Dowe (accent) [in his tarbush] and Shaihi and Alobe - went to call and take tea on the "Victoria" with Mrs. Dexter and Mrs. Beals - the babies lived up to the situation behaving perfectly. We were presented with a number of New York papers - with all the news about the fall of Port Arthur. Grandma and Dowe (accent) went to market this morning, and bought some cloth for some galibiah's which are to be made for her, and Lois Auna and Totty and Tinie, and a tailor engaged to come to the dahabeyah to do the work. SUNDAY JAN 15th. A wonderful day. Corinna and Joe went on donkeys to the tombs of the Kings and there met Mrs. Quibell who went with them into four tombs - Rameris III and IX, Menefta and Amenophis II, and then we all walked over the mountain above Dehr el Bahri to the Quibell's house Page 51: where we had lunch. Back to the dahabeyah early in the afternoon. This morning Mr. Davis, big boat, the "Bedouin" came up and two other dahabeyahs - one of them occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Longfellow, and Miss Hale, and Mrs. Perkins. MONDAY JANUARY 16. REBECCA's THIRD BIRTHDAY K (graphic) and L (graphic) Mother and Joe, Alobe and Yaaseen, went to Karnak in the "Rebecca and Frances" It is the most charming way to go, and takes me there in about the same time as tho (sic) I went from Luxor by donkey. Corinna and Mother and both babies called on Mr. and Mrs. Longfellow and Mrs. Perkins and Miss Hale in the afternoon. Mrs. Quibell took luncheon with us to-day. Our second food supply came to-day from Fleurents, Cairo. Another big dahabeyah came up just after sunset. The second one to-day. There is also - a new steam dahabeyah - flying our flag. The shores both sides of the Nile are lined with boats, presenting a very gay appearance. TUESDAY JAN. 17th Work went on at Karnak in the morning and Luxor temple in the afternoon. Mrs. Mond made a long call on Mother and Corinna this morning Joe called on Mrs. Andrews on Mr. Davis boat the "Bedouin" and Corinna and he, dined out, with the Longfellows. Corinna went with Mrs. Saunders to Page Blank: The daily expenditures of the household, are kept in Arabic and Corinna and Dowe (accent) and Yaaseen or Alobe, have quite a time together getting it all settled up, and then Corinna puts it down in her account book. Page 53: the Quibell's to tea. Dowe (accent) has a bad cold, and seems quite miserable. WEDNESDAY JAN 18th Another most beautiful day. Grandpa and Corinna went with Joe to Karnak this morning, where we met Prof. and Mrs. Fergerson, and Miss Vaughn of Cambridge. In the afternoon Georgie Lee and her husband made their appearance in Luxor temple [having arrived to day at one oclock from Assouan, by steamer]. Mother and Joe took tea with them at the Luxor hotel late in the afternoon in the garden - Corinna and Mrs. Quibell had their battle with Arabic handwriting Miss Vaughn and her party came over to-night and made a call on us. Fine moonlight. Dowe still under the weather, but better than he was last night. The Mond's boat has been moved from the position near the German Villa - and is now opposite us - just below the Grand Hotel. THURSDAY JAN 19th Perfect day, and a wonderful sunset. Work went on as usual at Karnak, and the painter was brought back to Luxor by the Lee's who afterwards came to the boat, to luncheon. Mr. Theodore Davis called this morning. Corinna and Mrs. Lee went with Mrs. Saunders went to the gymkana meeting and afterwards took tea at Luxor hotel. Dowe (accent) much better. Page 55: FRIDAY JAN 20th K (graphic) and L. (graphic) Big Anglo American crowd at Karnak this morning, a poor helpless aimless seeming herd of people - all looking here - now there - now the other way at command Same crowd, somewhat thinned out, came to Luxor temple in the afternoon, after their tea on the boat. -Corinna and Joe lunched at the Grand Hotel with the Fergersons and Miss Vaughn, and in the evening Grandpa, Grandma and Joe, went to dine with the Lees at the Luxor Hotel. A Heavenly moonlight night. The Fergersons - Miss Vaughn - Mrs. Andrews and her niece called this afternoon and took tea. SATURDAY JAN. 21 The Artist took a day off, and went with Jim Lee, to the tombs of the Kings to-day. Mrs. Quibell came this morning and took her Arabic lesson with Corinna, and told us some very good news about Mr. Q. about his future work in Egypt. Went to see a dahabeyah this afternoon, - the difficulty of getting definite word from the owners of the "Abou Simbell" about a price of two more months on her, one enormous plots are on foot to scare them into some expression of feeling, by, suggesting other plans Page 57: SUNDAY JAN 22. K (graphic) and L (graphic) North wind in the early morning when Joe went down to Karnak in the "Rebecca and Frances" and West in the afternoon, and quite cold. Finished my picture in the Luxor temple of "His better half" Had a talk with the Reis of the "Bijou" and have made an offer to the owner, through sum of (pound symbol L) 25 a month, which he seemed to think might be accepted, but we think otherwise and shall be greatly surprised if we get the boat at that very low figure. Took tea [Joe, Corinna and Grandma] with the Lees and said good bye to them, also to Mrs. Quibell who went down to Cairo to-night to be gone a few days. After dinner Corinna and Joe went over to the Anglo American "Puritan" and called on the Fergersons and Miss Vaughn. MONDAY JAN 23. Work at Karnak in the morning, and began a new study in the afternoon at Luxor temple Mother and Corinna went over the little hospital with Dr. and Mrs. Saunders, and called on Mrs. Mond. They acquired a fine dragoman on the way, who would have surprised the Monds by his appearance, if they had been in to see him. Mr. Foulk of Washington came to-day, by train, and his family by Rameses III which arrived late this afternoon. Mr. Quibell came to dinner to-night Wind strong from the West and cold and blustering all the afternoon Little Miss Tinie getting a couple of teeth, and had rather yellious times last night. Page 59: TUESDAY JAN 24th Sailed down to Karnak with Yaaseen and Alobe this morning. Wind south-West, and by afternoon it blew a gale, and one of the wildest days we have had. Considerable dust at Karnak this morning. The crew openly found fault with the Captain, before us to-day, for their wages which they declare have never yet been paid them. - *Alobe refused to eat his lunch to-day, saying his family had nothing to eat and he should not have food when they had none. (inserted after the line in three rows) We sent a telegramm (sic) to Hadji Meki, saying there was trouble here and he had better put in an appearance, and to answer - it remains to be seen what answer we get, if any. Work went on in Luxor temple in the afternoon, very cold wind searching, and finding out ankles and shoulders, and the painter was glad to knock off at four, and go and make a call on Mr. Ffoulke, at the Grand Hotel. Corinna and Grandma, took tea at the Davis's boat. Grandma retired early to-night as the motion of the boat, is a little too much like ocean travel - quite a tossing about, we are having - and little Miss Tinie was terrified with it, and refused to be comforted into sleep for some time - the "wet rag" punishment was suggested and she went off, at once. Esia, and Shaihi rowed the ladies up to the "Beduin (sic)" and looked like rag pickers Esia's costume on a cold day, is not what you would call swell, - extremes meet, and our old chap was a grand contrast and foil to the well costumed sailors on the Davis boat. Joe paid a visit to the market this noon, and was run into and knocked down by a loaded donkey, and sprawled all over a number of uncomplaining natives and their wares. Page 61: WEDNESDAY Jan 25th Rebecca started the day early this morning, crawling into her parents bed with Polly Flinders who was so ice cold that touching her, most effectually drove away sleep. Jeannette's engine gives the first intimation of approaching day, - then Rebecca - then the sun flickers through the blinds, then Grandpa [who has been up for hours] announces breakfast, and a scrabble ensues. Shaihi and Yaaseen took the bread winner to Karnak in the little feluka [she looks like the walnut felukas Grandma makes for Rebecca]. A large study of the big hall was begun. Grandma and Joe spent the afternoon in Luxor temple and a new study was commenced there too, - yesterdays study being tacky and unfit to work on. Hadji Meki's father appeared this afternoon from Assouan - and spends the night with us, he will talk matters over with me tomorrow morning. Went on board the "Bijou" and thought her a fine boat, far too fine, for a poor painter man to aspire to. Promised Dowe (accent) a new galibeah - if we got her for the price we mentioned to the owner. Corinna's teacher [chary of compliments] gave her one this afternoon, which is hereby recorded Page 63: THURSDAY JAN 26th In the small felouka to Karnak as usual this morning, and put in a hard morning's work. M. Legrand is getting the water out of his diggings by means of a shadouf, quite a novel sight - he promises some finds within a day or so now. Corinna spent the afternoon at Luxor temple with Joe - and later Jeannette and the babies made their appearance, and we toddled around into the Luxor hotel gardens, to see the war telegrams, and then we made a call on the Ffoulkes on the Rames (sic) III. Mr. Quibell came in at dinner time - refused to eat, but sat with us until we had, finished. Corinna and Jeanette and the babies went to Rameres. to-day on donkeys. With much talk and discussion a settlement was brought about, and Shaihi - Esia and Alobe, have been paid what was due them, and happiness has settled down upon us all. No business instincts seem lodged in the brains of our boats owners. Letter from Mrs. Gardner to-day, asking why she don't get her tapestry - good reason because I haven't yet bought it for her - by same mail, came an offer from Paris from the owner - offering it for $8000, delivered at Fenway Court, which I shall telegraph to her to-morrow. FRIDAY JAN 27th Joe Called on Mrs. Phoebe Hearst this morning on the Amaris, and then went to Karnak by donkey, afterwards seeing her again there. Corinna and Grandma came later by the little felouka and Corinna introduced M. Legrand to Mrs. Hearst We all came back in the little boat, being towed by Alobe and Yaaseen. Work went on as usual in Luxor temple after luncheon - and, the babies came over and Page 65: brought "Papa" home just before sunset Many dahabeyah's (sic) come and go now and we cannot longer keep run of them. SATURDAY 28th Jan. Worked at Karnak, and expected a visit from the Duke of Conaught, that is Legrain did, and fresh sand has been spread about on all the paths, and the shadoufs were decorated with palm branches and all for nothing - as the special train was two hours late, and the Duke and his party only had time to see the Luxor temple, being guided by Quibell and Legrain, both in tarbuch's - [Corinna didn't know the catler when she met him in the road, after the boat had taken the Royaltys (sic) away up to Assouan and Halfa. Took a Kodak of a statute I want to buy for Mrs. Gardner - went up onto the antiquity man's roof, and scared his hareem out of their skins, by my sudden appearance there. Corinna and Joe walked over to Mr. Quibell's in the later afternoon, meeting all the men and little boys trooping home, from work at the tombs of the Kings and Dehr el Bahri. We dined with Mr. Q. and spent the night, having a charming evening there with him, and eating up a splendid turkey at dinner. Reis Ali went to Assouan to-day. SUNDAY JAN 29th After the heartiest of breakfasts, we took donkeys to Luxor - to our boat. Q. coming along too, as he was going to Esneh to meet Maspero, to talk over the new appointment he has just had - to Sakurah Joe made a sketch of the pink mountains - and we lunched on deck and saw the Page 67: Bradley Martin's steam dahabeyah arrive. In the afternoon worked at Luxor temple and Corinna came over, and together we called on the boat - having previously met Mrs. Martin and her sister Miss Phipps in the temple, and walking around with them and their dragoman. Dined on the "Bedouin" with Mr. Theodore Davis, and had a most enjoyable time and a good dinner - homemade candy being a great treat. Met Mr. and Mrs. Newton Stokes, who came up by train this morning and go back tomorrow *night. (inserted below last word of line) MONDAY January 30th Alobe and Yaaseen - [captain and crew of the Rebecca and Frances] took the painter down to Karnak this fine misty morning, and waited there for him, while he finished his big picture of the sacred boat. Worked also on the new study of the Hypostyle Hall - and at 11.15 left the temple crossed the river and at 12.10 was sitting in the "lunch tomb" in the valley of the Kings, eating an extraordinarily good cold lunch, with the Bradley Martins, Lord and Lady Craven - Miss Phipps, Captain Guest, and Corinna, who had come over with them. Came over the hill and visited the temple, and got back to the dahabeyah at 4, to find her moored in a new place - the water in the old one being too shallow, and the boat being very nearly stuck fast. Miss Phipps and the Captain came aboard and made a call, and when they left, Mr. and Mrs. Stokes came and had tea and saw the babies, when they left, Quibell came also and had some, and the "Rameses the great" came up the river, with Emory Gardner aboard, and Stoke's younger brother aboard (strikethrough) and other friends Jeannette was ill to-day and Page 69: Grandma and Grandpa took entire charge of the babies, and made a grand success, so tiring out the little things, by a succession of amusements that they dropped off to sleep, as soon as their tired little heads touched the pillows, to-night. Grandpa and Grandma also, seem to have felt the days exertions. Rebecca took a ride with an unknown admirer - on this donkey this afternoon. TUESDAY JAN. 31 A perfect day. The painter worked this morning on his new picture at Karnak, and met Mr. Stokes and Mrs. Portlethwaite of Washington there. Alobe and Yaaseen took him down in the small felouka - as usual. In the afternoon worked at Luxor temple on the little head of Rameses wife, behind his Majesties (sic) left leg, on the statue recently discovered. Jeannette getting better, but Corinna had to be on hand all day with the kids. Emory Gardner called and had tea this afternoon. Seven American flags are flying at Luxor now - six in dahabeyah's and one on a camping outfit, near us on this side. No word yet from the owner of the "Bijou" One month of the new year gone. WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1st Brought home from Karnak to-day the big picture of the sacred boat, from the marble (strikethrough) (insert) granite sanctuary, and in the afternoon worked again on Mrs. Rameses and finished her - Corinna and the babies went to tea on the "Bedouin" with - Mr. Andrews Page 71: Had a long talk to-day with Legrain, who is a most interesting man - concerning the the newly appointed Englishman to take Mr. Quibell's place - he spoke feelingly - The shadoufs are at work now - passing the water from the excavations, where any time now, we may expect to see something - the water runs into the sacred lake. The Martin's dahabeyah went off up the river this morning. THURSDAY. Feb 2 *Freeda Mond came and played all morning with (inserted marked with a { connecting to inserted line below) The painter went this *Totsey, and left an invitation for Joe and Corinna (inserted marked with a { connecting to inserted line above) morning to Karnak with Yaseen and Alobe, in the small felouka - and put in a long morning's work - on the picture of the Hypostyle Hall, and a new one. - Letter from owner of the "Bijou" to-day - not very satisfactory, but the affair is not off, by any means - and the chance of the Fergersons taking the boat for a couple or three days (strikethrough) (insert) months, may help us very materialy Maspero, came down the river this morning. Began a new picture at Luxor temple this afternoon. Heard from Charlie Fitz to-day that the Moorish capitals I bought in Seville for Mr. Gardner, have arrived all safe and sound. Read in the paper to-day that the Emperess Eugenie, sailed yesterday on a dahabeyah for Luxor and Assouan - hope we shall see the famous old lady, on her way up. Corinna and Dowe (accent) are going through the day's accounts, and the day, which has been one of perfect beauty - is done. Dowe (accent) gave us a great scare to-night by suddenly introducing into the cabin the wild untamed cat, to keep down the mice which are a little too numerous, and are beginning to be somewhat destructive Corinna balanced up accounts to-day and Page 73: finds that we are living as we did last month, for just $2.00 a head, which is cheaper living that we can do in Boston, and as reasonable as Italy. FRIDAY FEB 3th (sic) Work went on at Karnak in the morning, and at Luxor temple in the afternoon Legrain has found an interesting ancient drain - between the sacred lake and the new excavations which he thinks is a very important affair - running to the Nile, and used perhaps to drain the lake. The Longfellows arrived to-day from Assouan. The Ferguersons came down the river to-day - sent a telegramm (sic) to the owner of the "Bijou" SATURDAY FEB 4th An eventful day. Karnak in the morning. Luxor in the afternoon. Had word from Cairo about the boat, and by two oclock *we (inserted above text line) had made a contract with the Reis - for himself and sailors - one with the owner, for the rent of the boat, for two months or more, and made arrangements with the Fergusons, so that they took the boat in the afternoon, and we find ourselves with two dahabeyah's, four felouka's and twenty one men in our employ. The Fergusons take the boat for two weeks from date - and may go up the river to El Kab. In the afternoon Mr. Brown's [Genoa] sister Mrs. Weyermann and her daughter and a Miss Bayley, came and had tea, followed later by the Longfellows, and Joe's pictures were shown to them. Corinna and Joe went to dinner at the Mond's - met M. Naville and his assistant there. Had a cable from Mrs. Gardner to-day, saying to buy the Paris tapestry. Page 75: SUNDAY FEB 5th Work at Karnak in the morning, with a pleasant half hour with the gay and cheerful Director, who is as pleased with his canal, as a child with a new toy. Went down into a damp cold shaft, and observed a sluice like slot, and peculiar joints of the well laid masonry. Corinna took a lesson to-day in Arabic writing. In the afternoon Joe went to the tombs which Mond discovered and picked out subjects for painting - enough to keep him busy for weeks. The Quibells returned to-day from Cairo, *& (different symbol inserted above text line) stopped at the dahabeyah for a call, and Corinna and Rebecca walked part way across the sand bank with them when they started for home. Joe called on them later in the afternoon, and had tea, and met the young man who is to take Quibell's place - and Mr. Davis - and returned with the latter to the riverside at sunset. Carter incident most absorbing at present, the young man is in a most unfortunate position and the outcome very uncertain, Maspero went down to Cairo by train to try to straighten out the affair. Our second dahabeyah - crossed the river to-day, and is now anchored near us on this side. MONDAY Feb 6th The painter went this morning over to Mr. Mond's tombs and walked in the beautiful carved one, and with *his (inserted above text line) Reis, went over all his present diggings which are quite extensive this season. Saw Mrs. Quibell, and borrowed a drawing board, which she said belonged to Mr. Carter. Corinna and Grandma went aboard the "Bijou" and made an inventory of linen and table Page 77: things, and gave orders to the Reis to have the boat thoroughly cleaned, during the day. The "Safa" came to Luxor to-day behind a steam tug, and we must go and call on the Mancriefs to-morrow. - Work went on at Luxor temple in the afternoon, and Totly and Tinie in their little new blue galabeah's came over with Grandma and Grandpa, later in the afternoon and received flattering attention from all the donkey boat (strikethrough)(insert) boys The Artist had his hair cut this afternoon, and becomes a human being in appearance again, he took tea at Luxor Hotel, with the Fergurons, and came home with Grandma -meeting her at the Chemists. Mice and Rats, are now becoming troublesome on board the good ship "Abou Simbel" and the cat is not earning her salt. Crowned heads will soon be here, and the poor Quibell's will be busy taking them around, in the bowels of the earth Alobe and Grandpa have great fun, when the latter comes aboard the boat after a walk. Alobe rushes to get the feather duster, to dust off his dusty shoes, and Grandpa has the smallest coin of the Kingdom to hand him as backshees - the joke consists, in Grandpa's endeavors to elude the dusting, or to receive it from other hands than Alobe's. TUESDAY FEB 7th Joe went to Karnak this morning in the little felouka with Alobe and Yaaseen, and at 12 oclock got back to the dahabeyah and took donkeys with Corinna and went over to the Quibells to lunch. Grandpa Grandma and Abdalla - left soon after breakfast and walked to Medinet Habou Page 79: and the tombs of the Queens, and in one of the latter tombs, Mrs. Quibell was discovered painting, and she made them come home with her to luncheon - and there they were discovered by Joe and Corinna. A very merry luncheon, Mr. Q was very entertaining and we teased him about the great people he must look after, next week. Joe worked in one of Mond's tombs and Reis Mousa took him later to see four mummy cases, which were found this afternoon: - Navielle found some statutes to-day also - and Davis thinks he may have come upon Thotmosis II's tomb - over in the valley of the Kings - lots doing over this side these days. Corinna and Joe called on the Moncriefs late in the afternoon and after dinner went over and called on the Davis boat The Ferguson's came in and called to-night on (strikethrough)(insert) Mother and Grandpa. WEDNESDAY FEB 8th Joe went to the tombs, and painted all the morning, and he had the pleasure of seeing a mummy case excavated - where Mr. Mond is now digging - it was quite an experience, and there is more to come, the Reis says - four have been found in two days, and Mr. Mond has been sent for [he went, with his family to Assouan three days ago]. A cold West wind sprang up, soon after midday and the afternoon was uncomfortable - The painter worked in Luxor temple. Mr. and Mrs. Quibell came in just before dinner, and took over water and hot water and whiskey, before riding home across the wind swept plain. The "Bijou" sailed up the river to-day just before noonday. Page 81: Contract (signed) came from the owner of the "Bijou" to-day - all O.K. and Grandpa sent him a registered letter with L (British pound sign) 25, payment for one month. Rebecca had a letter to-day - the first the little girl has ever had in Egypt - from Mr. Quibell - enclosing two passes to the temples and tombs of Upper Egypt- for herself and Tinie. Grandpa is beginning "to take notice" in Arabic - and already has quite a little vocabulary. A year ago to-day the war began between the Japanese and their great opponent. THURSDAY FEB 9th Corinna Grandma and Joe went to Karnak this morning in the little felouka, and walked home at noonday. The picture of the hall - in Luxor temple was finished this afternoon, and the three ladies of the Abou Simbel came over to Luxor *later in the afternoon (inserted above text line) - Corinna and Grandma to call on Maspero and Jeannette, to go to the Gymkana, with a friend of hers. We did not find the great man or Mrs. Maspero, and consoled ourselves with tea in the gardens of Luxor Hotel. A letter came to-day from Volpi, giving the news of the Piero della Francesca, and telling of three other superbe pictures, Prince Barbarini of Rome has decided to dispose of - and which have so far escaped being put in the Governments (sic) list. Quibell stopped in a moment at lunch time, and we ran him about his nervousness concerning the approaching visit of the Dukes. Legrain, has asked us to come up to Karnak on Monday night to see some illuminations he is going to arrange for the Royalties Page 83: Sir Colin Moncrieff, and his party went off up the river this afternoon - disgracefully towed by a tug - with a magnificent breeze blowing. Grandpa and Abdalla looked after the babies until our return - with great success. A gale of wind and bitter cold weather is reported in Cairo to-day, we had some of the wind, but the day was warm. FRIDAY Feb 10th The Painter made an early start this morning, on Hassans (sic) black donkey and got to work in his tomb at 8.30, and Grandma and Corinna came over later on donks with the lunch basket, and while Grandma and Joe went to see Monds (sic) excavations Corinna cooked a fine luncheon Afterwards they went to Der el Bahri, and were shown all over the recent diggings by Mr. Ayerton, and Corinna went down a thirty foot deep pit, - the grave of a Pharoe's favorite. Later we went to the Quibell's to tea, and had to talk French, as Maspero, and the French Ambassador and his large family of girls came and swarmed upon us, and there was no escape possible. Totly and Tinie had callers this morning, Mr. Davis's nieces, who spent all the morning with the babies playing in the sand. Grandpa busy doing some drawing, off, from a photograph.

Corinna and Mrs. Quibell had a successful lesson to-day. SUNDAY 12th Joe went to Karnak this morning, and brought home, at 12 - a study of a head, of Thutmosis III, which he finished this (strikethrough)(insert) to-day. Mrs. Quibell came to luncheon *she went to Cairo in the evening (inserted above line of text) - and brought the startling news that Mr. Davis's Reis had gotten down to the door of a tomb, that Mr. Davis had sent word, with Maspero's permission to the Duke - to have it opened to-morrow in his presence - To guard the tomb to-night it was necessary to have police - gaffirs, and at least one (underlined) European official - and Mr. Quibell being away, in attendance on the duke, it fell to Weggall to go and spend the night at the tomb's mouth. He lunched at Davis (sic) dahabeyah, and Corinna saw him, and he said he had got to go there and rather dreaded it - would feel lonesome etc. etc - she said to him that she and Joe would keep him company, and he accepted her proposition and so in the late afternoon they both rode over the mountains and met the lonesome young inspector - in the impressive valley, and before we had our Page 87: supper, we walked up one of the near by hills and saw the light die out of the sky, and the moon shine in wondrous splendor - on the enchanting tho (sic) desolate, wild and uncanny scene. Corinna cooked a fine supper - and after a moonlight walk, up to the end of the valley - joined by young Mr. Ayerton, who had come over from Dehr el Bahri, to see if he might be of any assistance - we went to bed - thinking of the tomb and its contents, we were guarding. 12 gaffirs, and a native inspectors (sic) slept near by, and the night was warm and windless. About 12 - we woke up, and took a little walk, in the wonderful moonlight - an extraordinary and beautiful effect - the color marvelous, and the light and shadow, entrancing. Again we slept, and about 4.30, awoke again, and Corinna made tea, and after sitting half an hour talking, we walked up the gebel and saw the sun rise in glory - we made a long walk of it, into another wild valley, towards the West, and then came back to some breakfast. MONDAY (graphic - orange color under black) JANUARY (strikethrough)(insert) FEBRUARY 13 About 9.15, Mr. Davis came and said that Maspero, had given direction that we should go ahead and open the tomb at once, and he would presently arrive, and enter it. This was done, and with Mr. Weigall, I had the honor of first going way down to the lower door - and seeing the amazing sight, of what will probably turn out to be one of the richest finds ever made in Egypt, an extraordinary [Page Blank:] Corinna ran into the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, who were standing at the mouth of the tomb waiting with great impatience for Maspero to come out to take them about a funny rencontre. Page 89: mass of priceless objects - in perfect condition - except for the two mummies, which alone have suffered, at the hands of but one (possibly 2) thieves, who was (sic) only after the gold in and around the bodies - who did no (underlined) wanton (underlined) harm, to anything else - a wonderful, remarkable - astonishing find. Maspero came, and pronounces it remarkable - extraordinary, even in his great experience. - He did Corinna the singular honor, of asking Corinna to scramble over the walled up doorway - (which had been partly broken down 4000 years ago by the thieves) and to come into the maze of objects scattered about in a chamber (devoid of ornamentation) about 18 x 12, absolutely full (underlined) to overflowing of rich rare treasures, packed full - it was all like dreams - Quibell should have opened the tomb, but he was stalled at Edfou, and did not arrive until after the Ducal Party, had seen it, (about 2.30). Maspero asked Joe, to make a color study of the thing, before anything was done - and he went over the mountain to Mond's tomb, and returned with a canvass, and made the study, by electric light. (insertion from last page points to start of this line) It has been a day never, never to be forgotten. Corinna and Joe, returned at seven oclock pretty well tired out, and told everything to the family. We walked over the mountain with Quibell and tried to jolly him up be (strikethrough) up a bit - his disappointment was great of course, at not being there at the beginning. Mr. Lennon of Pawtucket had called this afternoon, and other old friends of ours Page 91: have arrived and are staying in Luxor. Empress Eujenia also arrived, and Mother saw her a number of times to-day in the town. The place reeks with Royalty. Professor Sayce has come down in his boat, and three other dahabeyah's lie moored near us Grandma and Jeanette went to Karnak to-night, and saw the illuminations there, gotten up most effectively by Legrain, for the Duke and his party.

Naville who had shown them about, their interesting diggings there. Tea with Quibell and his guests and home late to dinner. Corinna went with Mother over to Luxor Hotel to call on some friends. Quibell told Corinna that he had never had better assistance in the work, than Joe had given him, which was great praise Page 93: WEDNESDAY FEB 15. Joe worked all day at the new tomb with Quibell and Weigall, and late in the afternoon came home to tea with Mr. Lennon and some other Pawtucket friends *on our boat (inserted above text line), and Corinna and he and Grandma and Grandpa dined later with them at the Savoy, and had a particularly pleasant time The Dukes of Connaught and Devonshire, and their Duchesses, the Prince of Sweeden (sic), and various other celebrities came to the tomb to-day, and kept the workers there, from too much progress. Lunched with Maspero, and Dr. Sayce - at Davis's invitation to-day. THURSDAY FEB 16 Joe went early to the tomb and was there all day, most of the time in complete charge - as Quibell went off Duking, (by orders of Maspero) and Weigall went early - to Luxor - The Magazine, was finished this morning and Weigall and Joe, removed most everything up out of the tomb, into it, during the early part of the afternoon. Mother went to Karnak this morning, and reports that the big picture the Artist was at work on - in the Hypostyle Hall - had been removed - probably because there was lots of dust blowing these last few days. Corinna and Quibell came over the mountain after Sunset, and we all spent the night there again guarding the treasures in the hillside We had a splendid night, slept splendidly well. Page 95: Friday. Feb 17 -Worked all the morning in the tomb - got out all the jars, and outer coffins of the "old man" and later unwrapped part of him, and found various treasures Lunched with Quibell, and in the afternoon resumed the profession of "Painter" and worked at Mond's tomb, home later with Q. after tea with him. Mr. Davis joining us. Dowe (accent) returned to us to-day. Quibell came in and made a long call after dinner to-night.

Sent home word that I would spend the night there with Q. who would have been alone. After supper we walked up the other valley, which was most impressive in the moonlight, - we heard a wolf barking to another, far off, up in the distant ravines What a wondrous place it is - Page 97: Weigall dined with the family on the dahabeyah, and was very pleasant and entertaining, the Fergusons came in to call this evening, and reported details of their trip to El. Kab. SUNDAY FEB 19 Mr. Davis came aboard to say good bye this morning - and about one oclock the breeze (strikethrough)(insert) wind being strong and favorable. The great white wings of his boat were spread to the breeze, and the "Bedouin" sailed away, up to Assouan. Joe had a splendid night in the Royal valley, and in the morning did some work on the catalogue, and at 11.30, walked up the "workmens path" and down the steeper path on the Dehr-el-Bari. side, and over to the tomb, where he is painting, and at 12.30 took donkey, back to the riverside, to his deserted family. Corinna and Joe called and had tea with the McCoys at the "Savoy" A box of "Turkish delights" and a note from Mr. Quibell, saying Mrs. Q. had come back from Cairo, and asks us to spend one more night in the valley, guarding the treasures there. A week more in beloved Luxor, and then the family in their new boat will regretfully leave - the beginning of our homeward journey. Quibell was very interesting last night telling about excavations and discoveries and giving various details of the history of the Museum, and the men who have ruled there. MONDAY FEB 20. The painter went to Karnak in the "Rebecca and Frances" this morning, and found that Legrain had removed his picture of the Hypostyle Hall, owning to the illuminations Page 99: and other excitements of this last very full and momentous week, the picture was found in the magazine. Mr. and Mrs. McCoy came to lunch to-day with their little boy Littlefield.

WEDNESDAY FEB 22 Joe went to work over in Gourneh, this morning and finished the picture he has been at work on in the Tomb (120) back of the Rameseum - lunched with Ayerton at Dehr el - Bahri - and in the late afternoon came home. *THE BABIES HAD THEIR HAIR CUT THIS MORNING, AND NOW LOOK LIKE LITTLE BOYS, INSTEAD OF GIRLS (inserted at end of this line and the next two lines - in mostly capital print instead of cursive) Corinna and Mrs. Quibell called on Mrs. Legrain to-day. Mr. Quibell and Weigall came to lunch. Corinna and Joe dined with the Whitakers - at Luxor Hotel Page 101: THURSDAY FEB 23 Corinna and Jeanette went over to the tombs of the Kings this morning. Joe finished a landscape of the hills - in the beautiful pink morning light The McCoys called and invited us to lunch - and Joe accepted and went, and afterwards went up to Karnak, in the "scarab" with Mother, and Dowe (accent) and Yaaseen and Esia, and they brought home, the big sketch of the Hypostyle Hall. Joe went to the Gymnkana with the McCoys for a little while, and then came home to tea with the Whitakers - and showed them pictures afterwards, - they were most appreciative Corinna and Joe dined with the Fergursons on board the "Bijou", and the sailors did a fantasia for our honor and benefit. A Mr. and Mrs. Stewart of New York called this evening by appointment and saw the pictures. These last few nights on the "Abou Simbel" have been made miserable for us all, by rats, who have arrived in numbers, like a plague. Alobe's mother died yesterday - or the day before - he had a letter to-day, which Yaaseen read to him in the tent, and then the poor old boy walked out over the sand all alone with his sorrow. One of the signs of his mourning, is abstinence of sugar in his coffee. Page 103: FRIDAY FEB 24th Joe went to his Gourneh tomb and began a new study this morning, and received a visit later from Corinna and Miss Vaughn - who afterwards walked, over the pass, and paid a visit to the new tomb. Joe packed some things, with the Quibells, and lunched with them, there. Corinna and Miss Vaughn went all over *Dehr-el-Barhi (inserted above the text line) with M. Naville and Mr. W. M. and Madame Legrain came to dinner tonight, we sent the Bijou's felouka down to meet them. Legrain translated the hieroglyphics on the "Armen" and thought it a very fine piece of XXVII - the pictures were shown, and seemed to give satisfaction to our guests. The Fergersons came to tea this afternoon and saw the pictures, and Corinna took the babies over to say good bye to the Whitakers Page 105: [text changes here - different writer] Feb. 25th Page 106: Crew of the "Bijou" Machmoud Capts. cook Ali Fahil Abaenifi Mahomet Barberi Ali (singer) Seliman (our boy) Seliman Achmet Mochtaf Yagoob 2nd Reis Eq'azi 1st " Page 107: Feb. 26th All turned out early and packed for a start to Cairo The Fergusons gave up at 9 a.m. and the Smiths piled in and after paying for the dahabeyah and the inevitable backsheesh we cast off at 11-15/. The upper deck was half full of newly backed (sic) bread for the crew. Mr. McCoy and wife and Mrs. Weigall saw us off and as might be known about twenty arabs on the sand. Shahi wept with grief at parting and Yaseen with the *Nagada (inserted in the left margin vertically and underlined in line with this line and one other) "scarab" accompanied us down to Karnak when he left us for his lonely trip back to Shellall. It has been a very quiet warm day and by current and rowing we have made about twenty three miles stopping for the night opposite Nagarda (sic). Joe left us to go to the Quibells while we are away, and hopes to join us a (sic) Balleniche Feb. 27 Left the shore at 6 15/ no wind and made a fair voyage here to Dendera (underlined) arriving at about 3 p.m. A chair was rigged for mother, and donkeys for *Dendara (written diagonally in the left margin in line with this line and two below)* the others and off we all old and young scuttled for the temple - about two miles. After a look around and enjoying the beautiful works - home we came all a little tired - the exertions of yesterday having now put in their work. I for one am about used up H.T. Page 109: Feb. 28 Left the shore at 6-15 no wind - and good current, and after grounding but once (and only once so far) we *Dishneh (inserted diagonally in left margin in line with this line and three more below)* arrived here a few miles above the rail-road bridge at sun down. The day has been very warm and pleasant and the sundownes are glorious about 30 miles today. C. and I took a little walk back of a low mud village accompanied by three of the crew on our return Doe (accent) met us and remarked that it was not a safe place for tourists to be-alone. March 1st Picked up our stakes at 6.15 as yesterday. Vairable (sic) head wind - mostly strong, this with shoal water made our days (sic) work very small. We arrived at the R.R. bridge about noon-moored *Kalid (inserted in left margin diagonally in line with this line and two others) and waited for the draw to open, after one slip up at which Corinna expostulated we seized the next and dropped through but owing to bad wind we moored again - startled at about 5 - made two miles and moored again *for the night (inserted above line) - the (sic) telegraphed Joe that we would be at Baleishny early tomorrow - Impkins - 2nd reis reports loss of $18 - while purchasing sugar cane. Page 111: March 2 Left Kalid early in morning No wind and fair drifting. At or near Abaiyeh we were interested in seeing the Villagers assembled on the shore to assist *Balliania (inserted in left margin vertically in line with this line and with the next three)* in finding the body of one drowned. An exciting time for a while caused by a tug towing a dahabieyh down - getting aground - and letting the boat drift down so as to nearly collide with us who at that moment touched bottom. Arrived at Balaiena about sun down. March 3 Packed a camel with tent etc and Mother Corinna & (diff symbol) yours truly put off for abydos - arv. 11 a.m. *Girgeh (inserted diagonally left margin in line with text and continuing two more lines)* pitched the tent in front yard - Mr. Quibell having sent word to the guards to look out for us - (one came to Abydos (strikethrough)(insert) Baleine last night to report it.) On the way over & (diff symbol) back we were escorted by a Greek gentleman - a contractor to build a road - - way to Abydos. - No word from Joe. It being a calm day we thought best to go on to Akhmin at east - so left Doe (accent) & (diff symbol) started about 2 p.m and arrived at Girgeh about 6 Page 113: March 4th Left, Girgeh at 6 a.m. with a good south wind until about 11 a.m. Made Atkhmin at about 12.30. Abdallah and I went to the town and found that there was no telegraph office in town all messages coming from - Sohag about 5 miles farther down. So after a ramble in the country with Abdallah (who got lost) we up stakes *Sohag (inserted diagonally along left margin in line with this line and two others).* and made for Sohag where we are to spend the night. The reis's reason *given (inserted above text) being no good landing farther down and he wanted to clear up the wash which had been lying around loose for several days - the real reason was that he had friends here that he wished to and did see. A boy called with a message from Joe forwarded by Dowie which the boy had carried to Atkhmin and back saying that Joe was to come to Abydos next Tuesday So it was as well that we started on and made so much headway towards Cairo although we miss the painter man very much. The reis says god willing we start early and have a south wind tomorrow and reach Tahtah our next stop, ordered mail to be held Cairo. Page 115: March 5 Started at usual time but had not made a mile away before the northerly wind commenced and forced us to go ashore *opp. Sohag (inserted vertically in margin) about two miles below and opposite Sohag where we spent the day and night. Sorry that we started as Sohag is the most pleasant looking town we have seen since Cairo. The family wrote a combination letter to Lois to be forwarded to Aunty. Madams (sic) rash does not seem to trouble her much today. March 6 Cast off at Six a.m. Rowed for about five hours and made about eight miles when the wind having *Tuah (*inserted diagonally in margin) become too fresh for us we tied up to a mud bank on the West side near a small village said to be Tuah. The wind died down about five o'clk and on requesting the reis to row for an hour or so he was so much concerned at our displeasure that he left the ship. However we live in hopes of a better day tomorrow. Page 117: March 7 Started 5.45 a.m. No wind and a quiet sea for about two hours when the wind increased so that we made for shore in a hurry *Near Tahtah (inserted in left margin diagonally in line with this line and three below) about three miles South of Tartah (I wish had caught it) about noon. It has been blowing hard all the after- noon. The reis was disgruntled because of yesterdays work but the promise of a sheep at Assiout has put him in good humor. March 8 Like the King of France with his 40,000 men, we started on time, went *Near Tahtah (inserted left margin diagonally in line with this line and three below) about a quarter of a mile and then moored again. This day has been like one of our blizzard days, with sand instead of snow Sent a man to Tahtah for mail etc. he spent the whole day and brought no mail. He secured some pretty bad butter. Promised the crew a sheep but found prices to (sic) high here so did not secure one. (2 1/2 guineas) Page 119: March 9 Started at 6 a.m. Wind light but gradually freshened through the day but not as strong as before *near Rahineh (inserted diagonally in left margin in line with this line and three more below) we hope it has blown out. At about five p.m. we arrived here a short way s. of Raheineh which the reis refused to pass it being " a stopping place - we hope to reach Assiout and letters tomorrow p.m. March 10 Although the reis promised us to make a very early start - he did not get us off any earlier than usual. *Near Assiout (inserted in left margin diagonally in line with this line and four others) The day opened fine and quiet, but there did not seem to be much snap (underlined) about the crew and so we dawdled along and reached within say two miles of Assiout when we made fast to the shore This means a day visiting friends for the crew. I guess. The reis has a painful smelling on the palm of his hand and consequently is not in the best of humor. Mothers rash is troubling her almost unbearably I have it a little and we think the children have it also. Mr. Davis towed past us to-day going towards Cairo. A fantasia on deck. Page 121: March 11 Started early, no wind and a quiet sea and reached Assuit about eight A.M. Mother Corinna Totsy *Abdallah (inserted above line) and I took a carriage and rode up to the town - quite a distance (two miles) no telegrams but a number of letters - two from Joe which pleased the family - Telegraphed him to meet us *Assiout - (inserted diagonally in left margin in line with this line and two others below) at Moutfalul (also Harry Greene) where we expect to be Monday sure. Abdallah spent most of the day in town hunting for bread without success. Mother got some medicine. About 3 p.m. we started for the bridge, but did not arrive in time to get through. No sheep yet. - a Fantasia - March 12 Got through bridge 6.30 no wind Found a mud bank and kedged (underlined) off. Bad water for navigation and twists and turns in the river. Fetched up here at a small village called Iboub in an eddy which held us as though aground *Iboub (inserted in left margin diagonal in line with this line and one below) wind blowing hard but moderated about 5 - when we hauled down near the town where there is a better water for a start tomorrow. No sheep. Page 123: March 13 Started on time as usual with a light wind from the north About 8:30 some one hailed us from the shore and it proved to be Doe (accent) who afterwards said that Mr. Joe was at the Sheiks (sic) house eating his breakfast. We moored to the shore at the village of Beni (underlined) Hasan (underlined). Joe came aboard and said that they had come to Moatferut the day before and rode on donkeys upstream to meet us *Montferut (inserted diagonally in left margin in line with this line and three more below)* and getting to Beni Hassan too late to return the sheik put them up for the night. The whole family except Tiney made a call on the Moudir who returned it by accompanying us through the crowd - it was market day) to the boat when we continued our voyage and arrived opposite Montferut in P.M. - Joe and Doe (accent) went over and procured a camel and donkeys and brought them down to the boat where we are moored for the night. Captain reports "bad water" ahead and he did not wish to make a start late today C. hurt her finger in the window Mother is better of her rash. We are all well pleased to be all together again. Page 125: March 14 Off early with a good water and no wind to speak of. We made a very good run of about thirty miles and put in opposite *El Amani (inserted vertically in left margin three lines) El Amarna at dusk. It has been a most enjoyable day - then most of the way the river runs close to the mountain cliffs. March 15 Started as usual, no wind and made got (sic) sailing until near Rhoda when the wind freshened and we remained nearly stationary in mid channel from one to three o'clk. Joe and Dowe (accent) went ashore at the ruins on Antionopolis and gathered a number of "antiques" Our crew have demonstrated today more openly *about 4 miles N. of Rhoda (inserted vertically left margin in line with this line and continues for five other lines) what we have conjectured before that they were bound to make our trip down as long as possible and that the reis could not control them. We think it is his interest to hurry but he has said some nasty things in our presence which were translated to us. We hailed the tug that took Mr. Davis down but he refused to take us down So Janette went over to train for Cairo and will try to send a tug up and meet us on the river. Four of crew say they are disabled. Page 127: 15th continued - Doe (accent) with a gaffer from the Sheikh and a pistol strapped around him and Janette went up the bank to take donkeys for the 1/2 hour trip to the Station - the natives crowded around and wondered Why one (underlined) donkey was not sufficient to take both together with the valise but as there was neither stirrups nor bridle they both objected. However off they got and about 10 Doe (accent) returned and reported all was well. The Sheik after sending off the guard with them came on board and asked for some medicine for a severe stomach-ache he had. Mother got out her Jamaica ginger and gave it to him - afterwards we found the ache was in his cow. March 16 Up and off as usual, no wind Met a (strikethrough)(insert) Crew worked a little better than yesterday *Near Mineyh (inserted left margin diagonally in line with this line and five others below)* About noon we made Mineyh and on the bank, we saw Harry Greene pacing up and down with a handkerchief for a turban - he having lost his hat in the cars and we were very glad to see him and made him welcome. Janette telegraphed that her train being 5 hours late she could not report then, but later sent word that a tug was on the way for us.

Helf (inserted vertically left margin in line with text and two below)* boats that were stuck in the channel (including a post boat going down) at the same place we had so much trouble in five years ago. However by skillfull management on our part we got by took the tug and proceeded a mile or two when we got into another like mess but finally got off and finally we put up here for the night having made some fifty three or more miles The south wind continues which helps us some and we expect to arrive in Cairo tomorrow/Sunday P.M. Early Page 131: March 19 Started at 6 a.m. Strong wind from the north all day but made good sailing The tug found a native boat across the channel and so ran aground, we drawing less water passed along side of her and fetched up on the bank. Our crew and male passengers went ashore and hauled the tug off after some delay when we proceeded and reached our berth below the great bridge about three P.M. Much excitement in passing through the draw, a large fleet of natives using it at the same time Oaths etc was freely used and no accidents happened.

(graphic) FROM CAIRO TO LUXOR AND RETURN TO CAIRO, WINTER OF 1906-1907. (graphic) Grandfather, Grandmother, Joe and Corinna, Rebecca and Frances, and Jeanette arrived in Egypt from Veince (sic) November 4 1906. Some of us stayed in Cairo. The rest at Helouan, while Grandfather and Joe hunted for Dahabeyah's up and down the banks of the nile - plenty of Dahabeyah's - but all too dear for us - at last when Joe had planned to go to Assouan to take the old "Abou Simbel", we heard through Michael Casira a Greek Antiquity merchant in Cairo, that a countryman of his one, Georges Spiliotti had a good boat the price of which came some where near our figures - and while Joe and Corinna were at Sakkara, spending Sunday with the Quibell's Grandfather went to see the boat, and telegraphed to Joe, that it was a lucky find. The "Stella" is much bigger than any boat we have ever had before and there is plenty of room in her for us all, with a possible guest - Rebecca is to have a room to herself opposite Grandfathers, while Frances and Jeanette have the large room in the stern. The Greek Spiliottis - is a sharp, hard, miser, and a Greek to boot, a combination hard to beat, and we didn't beat him - after many interviews in his shop [opposite Shepheard's] we at last came to an understanding and Page Blank: Dowie came Nov. 9 Achmat (strikethrough last letter) (insert) n and Abdalla came Nov 21 Took boat Nov 17 went aboard Nov. 17 Left Cairo 28th Sofay Dowie 6 L (pound) Abdul Achman 2 " (all three lines connected with horizontal line like *and food 11 PT per diem for all Paid 1 month in full to Dec. 21 (third line) Mahomet 1 " Abdallah 1 1/2 L (pound) including food (Line across page horizontally cutting through text "at End") Mch 21 due men Aharee (?) 6 - Achmim (?) 2 Dowie 19.5 per diem Selfr (? cut off page) Mahomet 1 " 11- " food Adallah 1 1/2 Achmem 6.5 " Food 330 Mahomet 3.5 " (horizontal line) Adallah 5.

The little people, with Corinna and Jeanette, came on board next morning, and our departure was delayed, by the non appearance, of the small felluka with the head, which was to have followed us, from Cairo, with the second Reis and two more crew. Frances was recovering from a slight illness, and we were just as well pleased to stay one night, more within a Doctors reach. On Sunday, November, 25 we began the Voyage with the following crew.

Tuesday 27th. South wind. Joe and Corinna, Rebecca and Grandma, *5th day (inserted horizontally in left margin one line of text) and Dowe (accent), took a long walk, and we spent a lazy day at Kafr=Amar Remar [illegible] (switches author) (author =) Dowie found at Cairo a small boy named Mahomet Abdul Rasull from Shellal whose uncle had left him alone in Cairo and gone to Alexandria The boy wanted to go home and we consented to take him - Later we found that he could read and write Arabic and was very smart and quick to learn - Abdallah put in an appearance one day only and then took to his bed where he stayed in the dark until tonight when it was decided to send him home as far as Luxor with Joe who went on the night train.

The crew are getting uneasy at the delay as they are hired for a month only (as we suppose) and as they mostly live up the river they wish the extra time after arriving at Luxor, to be with their homes. Yesterday the writer amused himself making a box for Joes canvasses (sic) and today he made Giney's house - of cardboard - but no sooner was it done than she wanted - front door chimney - glass windows - steps - bath tub for dolls etc - truly one want makes another. Dowie made a trip to Wastor for bread. Rained again last night. Page Blank: Saturday Dec. 1st This day opens with a *9th Day 1 mile (inserted in two lines in left margin) beautiful sunrise and a light wind from the South which however soon died out and the men took to tracking at 7.30 a.m. 12 o'clk The South wind overtook us and at this hour we find ourself looking out of a window at the mud bank at which we are moored only about a mile from our starting place. *West bank (inserted at end of line in smaller text) And the day ends under the lea of the same mud bank - Sunday Dec. 2nd *8 (strikethrough)(insert) 10th day 1 mile (inserted in left margin in two lines) Today we made about another mile - and such is the way of living on the Nile. Monday Dec 3rd *9 (strikethrough)(insert) 11th day 1 mile (inserted in two lines in left margin) This day commenced fair with no wind at all until about 3 P.M. when a light breeze from the north set in but soon died out after our start and this night we are moored - on an island across the river about half a mile from the start. *West bank (inserted at end of line smaller text) Page Blank: Tuesday Dec. 4th And another south wind *10 (strikethrough)(insert over the zero a two) 12th day (inserted in left margin horizontally one line of text) Its getting monotonous. Dowie walked up to Rikka (across the river) to send a tel. to Joe but it was refused as orders were that that office was "closed to European Correspondance" (sic) Must try tomorrow at Wasta if we get there. Mother and the Kids playing cards at my table don't improve my handwriting. Wednesday Dec. 5 Day opens with the *11 (strikethrough)(insert the three over the one) 13th day 2 miles (inserted in left margin) usual South wind - About 9 a.m. it died out and the men took to tracking and - we made another mile. *or so (inserted in line) - Rain - We sent Dowie and Yuseff to Wasta to try to get a telegram to Joe and find more bread etc. Expect him back by midnight. The Reis says that this weather was expected at Cairo and that Prof Syce and others were waiting for it to blow out - We are ahead of them and saving hotel bills in Cairo, if that is any consolation. Page Blank: Thursday Dec. 6. Day opens with *12 (strikethrough)(insert four over the two) 14th day (inserted in left margin horizontally) a strong wind from the South - dust storm and so passes the day. Dowie returned about 4 P.M. - over a day waiting to hear from Joe - no answer to our telegram - don't understand it. We must wait until we get to Feshen Hassan was possessed with the "spirit" of the devil and the others made him go to sleep in the little fellucca - G'Ma was some what alarmed but we heard nothing more. Friday Dec 7 Day opens still and fair with *15th day 15 miles (inserted in left margin horizontally in two lines of text) light air from the west and ran out anchor several times along the river and finally put out the sails and now 11 a.m. making headway up the river. Mr. Davis's boat is being towed past us going up - too far off to recognize anyone but a handkerchief was waved from a window. We hope the hoo-doo is broken. We made about 10 (strikethrough)(insert five over zero) 5 miles today and banked a few miles above Wasta - East bank. Page Blank: Saturday Dec. 8. The day opens fair *16th day 46 miles (inserted in left margin horizontally two lines of text) with a good wind from the North which kept increasing until it was almost a gale and which bowled us along finely and we reached Fechen by 6 o'clk P.M. We found postal card at P.O. from Joe mailed some letters and telegraphed to Joe to answer at Mahagalh Sunday Dec. 9 Day opens fair but no wind *17th day 19 miles (inserted in left margin horizontally two lines) Some trouble getting an early start. 10.45 we made a start with a fair wind and reached Mahaglia at 3.15 where we found a post card and a telegram from Joe giving us two weeks later news from him - from thence with a gailing (sic) wind we fetched up at Sharona about 6 miles farther on - after dark. Being tired of doing nothing the old folks went to bed early and so ends this day. Monday Dec 10 The day opened quiet at Sunrise *18th day 1 mile (inserted horizontally in left margin two lines) A heavy mist set in with air from the South. Page Blank: Dec 10. Mother picked up a Coptic friend in a *18th continued (inserted in left margin horizontally one line of text) white nightgown who escorted her through the village and visited two of the churches & (diff symbol) a private house. I and Dowie in the mean time was interviewing two of the Sheiks. About 12.30 the men took to tracking and at present writing are making fair time. I think the crew have a sheep somewhere about. 1 P.M. stopped tracking and tied up. The sheep above mentioned turns out to be a fish a yard long, which one of the sailors caught. Progress about half a mile. And here we rest for the night unless a good wind comes & (diff symbol) if so the reis will put out. Dec 11th Tuesday No wind all day * 19th day (inserted horizontally in left margin one line of text) Charcoal getting short, not able to find any. Corinna and Jeanette went to Am. Church (Presbyterian) this evening, by invitation. Four watchmen kept guard all night unbeknown to us and kept G'Ma awake by crackling of their fire. Page Blank: Monday Dec 12 Day opened still but at 9 o'clk *20th day 34 miles (inserted left margin horizontally two lines) with increasing north *west (inserted above line) wind we start.

At 7.30 we moored about a mile above Beni Hassan & (diff symbol) on the west bank Friday Dec 14. Day opens fair. H.A.U.Co. Str *22nd day 25 miles (inserted in left margin horizontally in two lines) Nubia went up early this a.m. towing a native boat. 8.45 am. we start tracking - to get around a curve.

Page Blank: *at village called Miecis Gisis (?)(strikethrough M.G.)(insert) Deir Mues or Daer Muass (written in two lines above striked out text) Saturday Dec. 15th Mostly a still day *23rd day no crew that would work -still- no wind (inserted in left margin horizontally in six lines) what wind there was was Southerly The men refused to track and nothing was to be done but to wait wait, wait. Sunday Dec. 16th. Day opens quiet - no wind *24th day no crew that would work Dier Mues no wind still (inserted horizontally in left margin in seven lines) We ask the Captain to have the boat moved a short distance up stream to a better place as this bank we are at is high *and dusty (inserted above line) and hard to climb.

So of our crew of 12 we have the two Reis's two sailors - cook and our own men *& (diff symbol) 4 doubtful (inserted at end of line) And here we are, the Reis has gone to a village some way off to see the Moudir and see what can be done. Hope we will leave no trouble but am ready for it if it must come. Inshallah Page Blank: Sunday Continued Dec. 16 Instead of paying the men 1 1/2 L (British pound) the Moudir *24th day Continued (inserted horizontally in left margin two lines) ordered that they be paid 100 (100 written over 100 to clarify number) P.T. and discharged which leaves us here short of men to get to Assiout and for which we blame the Moudir in as much as the mens time of one month had not expired. If we get a good wind we will try to get to Assiout where with the help of a sheep and a new crew which the Capt. will get we hope to continue our voyage. Monday 17 This day opens quiet with light S. to E. *25th day no crew Deir Mues - still little wind - (inserted horizontally left margin four lines of text) winds and so continues through the day. This makes 8 days sailing 1 " at Helwan 16 " idle or tracking a mile or so say in all 6 miles (horizontal line) 25 Idle 11 ds. in succession I think the days we lie here - no men or they refusing to work should be deducted from our time at the end if we so desire.

Dowie and the gov. decide to go to Assuit and try to get word to Joe - train goes at 11.45 but is 1 1/2 hours late. We arrived at Luxor (strikethrough)(insert) Assuit with a sailor whom the Capt. sent to get more crew - I doubt his finding them. We got about 40 letters and several of Sais's clippings - no word from Joe later than Dec. 5. Dowie & (diff symbol) I come back arriving at Deir Moes at about 9 P.M. - no Yusseff & Capt. who agreed to meet us there - we got a boy & (diff symbol) a gaffir who led us a weary journey over hedges & (diff symbol) ditches & (diff symbol) durra fields & (diff symbol) at last we arrived where we had left the boat and it was gone - "What shall we do" We go to the little mud village & (diff symbol) try in vain to wake up the head man - at last a gaffir unlocks the Police Station - furnishes us with a light and 3 - blankets & (diff symbol) sleeping outside the door we go to bed.

Page Blank: Dec 18 We go up to Deirout to chance finding the *26 continued (inserted left margin horizontally one line of text) boat and succeed finally What the ladies have to say I hear but think they have written somewhere - Certainly they must have been worried - I knew nothings about moving the boat untill after we were in the train for Assuit except that Dowie said that if "there was a good wind the Capt would move the boat father up to a better place & (diff symbol) nearer the Station and that he would leave word at the telegraph office Wednesday Dec 19 - Deirout (strikethrough) - Umm El Ousal *27 no crew 15 (strikethrough 5)(insert 8 over the 5)18 miles Umm el Ousel wind fair (inserted in left margin horizontally five lines) It seems that the wind being good the Reis took the liberty without cousaltation (sic) to start the boat with practically no crew - left no word at the station - but was in hopes to reach Deirout in time to telegraph us at Assiut of the change - but unfortunately he got on a sand bar just before reacing (sic) the shore - which when reached we rushed up to the RR Station in hopes to get us out of the Cars there - but he was too late - a miscalculation and misadventure. 11.15 am we start from *here (inserted under the line) and make about 18 miles Page Blank: Thursday Dec. 20 We left Umm El Ousel *17 miles (strikethrough)(insert above) 28th day bad part of day for crew 2, Reis 1 man & (diff symbol) boy rest of day 2 Reis 4 men & (diff symbol) boy wind fairly good but had to track (inserted in left margin horizontally seven lines) at 6.30 fair but light wind - we found very bad sailing - the course was nearly a double (underlined) letter S. at about 11 a.m. just at the last of bad tracking place we found Eufordi with two sailors that he had got at Assuit. Yesterday while Dowie and the Gov. was away & (diff symbol) the vessel was sailing it got aground just before reaching Deirout - all the women on board helped work - they hauled up the anchor themselves, tearing & (diff symbol) wetting their clothes but succeeded To day the Capt & (diff symbol) Yuseff with Dowie & (diff symbol) Abdulachman towed the boat a long way while the Gov & (diff symbol) Mahomet & (diff symbol) the cook pulled when needed - we all have worked our passage so far - We landed about 1/2 mile below the dam at Assuit at dusk - The Dahabieyah Dongola belonging to an Austrian prince came up behind us After dinner the Gov. changed his shirt & (diff symbol) costume and with Dowie & (diff symbol) a visiting card made him a call and was nicely received - He was 12 days from Cairo He offered any help he had & (diff symbol) even offered to loan me money.

And off we go, the Austrian Baron "Dongola" in hot pursuit but I venture the statement that we are to be neighbors to night. But with only one sail up - they could not go slow enough and soon passed us bowing & (diff symbol) saluting. Make about 4 miles an hour by a bee line. 6 o'clk off Geou - 7 o'clk aground Page Blank: Dec. 23rd At about 9. P.M. after heavy and laborious *31st day.

They said "where are the other presents that he had" but on the whole they were very well satisfied and enjoyed passing to the crew candy cigarettes etc to the crew who passed the usual thanks With calm and puffs of wind we kept in motion most of the day, we had an exciting time colliding with a native boat which tried to cross our bow. The native shouts required wind enough to have filed our sails if properly directed. We reached the R.R. bridge at Nagh Hamandi early in the night *(x across remainder of page) Page Blank: Wednesday Dec 26th Day opens with light *34th day Nagh Hamadi (inserted horizontally in left margin two lines) south wind (our same old friend who hates to leave us) We have through the bridge at 8 a.m. & (diff symbol) moor just below the Dongola.

We priced a tug to Luxor 15 L (pound) and 10 L (pound) to Kennea and we told them to go to - --(combined - but longer length making one line) The wind at night fall was Westerly and we had hopes but it did not fill the bill so Joe takes the train at 8.52 for Luxor and we remain to wait for wind. Friday Dec 28 Day opens light wind S.E. - at 8 o'clk *36th day (inserted horizontally in left margin one line) men took rope & (diff symbol) tracked until about 10.30 - Our old friend Alobi passed us in a tug.

At 1. oclk a gentle breeze struck in from the North and "we sailed" We reached and went around the bad water. A more serious quarrel occurred between the two Reis's - I pity our Reis he is not having a very good time and so far until this time has kept his temper very well. We plugged along with a light wind and about dark Yusseff was sent ashore to buy milk as the Reis said that if we had a good wind he did not wish to delay in the morning. We drifted some way beyond the small village and began to think that something had happened to him - the sailors said so and that it was a bad town. But we sent the boat ashore and after a time he appeared. Not long after in trying to get beyond a point of land with light wind the current carried us off a back and we collided with a native freight boat which was very close under our stern - we both met - turned around Page Blank: with our sails aback - parted and met again *36 contd near Fan (inserted horizontally in left margin two lines) and the stern outrigger of the ghagger went clear though our "cook shop" scaring its boss so much as all hands. We then tied up for repairs at writing 8. P.M. There seems to be a large village across the river with perhaps 100 dogs and 5 children to each one all barking and shrieking - having a fantasiea perfect bealance (sic). On the whole an exciting day. Saturday Dec. 29 This day opens fine with a *37th day (inserted horizontally in left margin one line) light Westerly wind and as far as it goes is good for us - By poleing tracking & (diff symbol) the wind we make a mile or so and at 10 o'clk we are again fast to the mud on the opposite bank and by good luck avoided running into any boats but the banks suffered some. At 9 P.M. we are sailing along finely and approaching Kenna and hope to make a good run tonight. So far only 3 Dahabieyahs have passed us up 2 with steam and 2 down one with steam. Where is Prof Syce? - We sailed all night with a light wind and at 6.30 anchored opposite Ballas and Yuseff went ashore for milk. Page Blank: Sunday Dec. 30 Day opens fine but with a light *38th day at Ballas in A.M. Koos P.M. (inserted horizontally in left margin four lines) wind which we hope will strengthen as the day goes on. 8.30 we start slowly - and by sailing - poleing and tracking with a failing wind at 3.30 we reach Koos where we expect to spend the night unless a good wind comes up, in which case we will start. Corinna Doe I and 3 men took a long walk to the station and wired Joe of our position. Monday Dec. 31st This day opens still with *39th day Koos Till 6.15 P.M.

Our upper deck is all festooned for the day and it will be a past member when we get up. After the moon arose we had an East wind and tried it again but the wind soon died out and we only crossed the river and came to anchor We have done our d-st but can't fetch it Wednesday Jan 2 Day opens, little air Southerly *41st day 2 Miles North Koraa Luxor (inserted horizontally in left margin three lines) we commence to track about 8 a.m - all hands except Eufordy who has gone to Luxor for bread for crew & (diff symbol) I guess tobacco for Reis.

Bedreschein - Dec. 2d. 1907 This little record of travel should have begun a month ago - as we sailed from New York just a month ago - the 2d of Nov. on the Freiderick (sic) der Grosse. We had a rough unpleasant passage - there was no day on which I could have written with comfort. It was the worst passage I ever made. On some days, the best thing was to stay in bed - and that was a difficult thing to do. A friend of ours was thrown from his berth, and dislocated his shoulder - several accidents occurred - sprains etc. Reached Naples finally the morning of the 15th. Dr. Baldwin of Rome, and Mrs. Peck of Milwaukie, were on the boat, and added much to the pleasure of the voyage - coming when possible to my sitting room for tea. We knew that Nettie and Carrie would be waiting for us at Naples, and we hoped to have at least a night and day with Nettie at the Grand Hotel. But we were so belated that we had only time to drive to the hotel and get them, and drive back to the dock - and that was so disappointing. David Costantini was there also - and Mrs. Baldwin who had come from Rome to meet her husband - the voyage across the Mediterranean was as charming as the other was horrid. We arrived at Alexandria at 8 o’clock on Monday the 18th, stopped at the New Khedivial Hotel long enough to have a lunch put up for us, then paid a visit to the Museum (our first) though it is hardly worth a visit, and were off for Cairo at noon - and found our old rooms ready for us, and were eating dinner on the evening of the 16th day from N.Y. A very good record. We got away from Cairo today - having settled ourselves on the Beduin the 1st. We tried to get through the bridge yesterday - but there was such a crowd of gyassas at the draw, that we waited for most of them, dreading the dangers of that shouting, reckless, unmanageable crowd - but the Bridge time was up before they had all passed, and the draw was shut in our faces. We tied up at the Kasr el Nil barracks, and waited for today. We were so near when the draw was opened at 1 o’clock that we started as soon as the down boats had got through - but there was a good wind, and the reckless gyassas in spite of orders and shrieks of the bridge officers crowded upon us in full sail - and it was a very nasty twenty minutes we had - such noise, such frantic efforts. One of them crashed her bow into us, fortunately broke her bow sprit, and left her anchor embedded in the landing stage, or she would have ripped our side open. She did break one of the window frames, but luckily spared the glass, knocked much of our nice new paint off us etc. One of our men took out the window frame, and we left him in Cairo, to take it to the carpenters and painters. He rejoined us at Tourah by rail and says the carpenters and painters will reach Bedreshein tomorrow at 8 o’clock. As Theo and Carrie are to make a visit to Sakkarah we will not be detained. We saw Capt. Trefusis and his sweet sister Evelyn who is out with him this winter. They lunched with us several times, and she came in to stay one night (they are staying at Helouan) and go with Carrie early the next morning to see the ceremony of the Kishwa. He is now in a large business at Cairo. We also made the acquaintance of Lord Denbigh’s eldest son, Viscount Fielding. He is in the Coldstream Guards, who have lately been sent out here. He is a nice young fellow simple and natural. Mrs. Peck of Milwaukie was at Shepheards most of the time we were there, and we saw much of her. Cairo, and the whole of Egypt is now in serious financial straits, following the absurd speculative craze of the last 2 years. Prices are incredibly high.

We got away from Bedraschein at 7 o’clock this morning - and have had a lovely day - river like glass, both of our sails out much of the time. The river is enormously broad about here. When I went on deck about 4 o’clock, I found a scene of ravishing beauty - the broad smooth river, the distant cliffs and Mts. and desert, with the heliotrope shadows, and the soft brilliant sun. It was too entrancing. We had tea on deck - and are now lying opposite Wasta. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The river is so very broad here, that it is difficult to find the channel. The gyassas seemed to be having as much trouble as we had. Such a wonderful sunset - the sky, crimson pink with one long narrow cloud near the horizon, above which shone Venus, quite resplendent, and the new moon, the veriest silver thread of a little crescent, just below the cloud.

Passed Mellawi, Hadji Kandel, and the Gebel Abu Feda and pulled up opposite Menfalout at 6 o’clock. We missed our channel this afternoon and had to go back to find it. It was a wonderful sight passing the Gebel. In all the years I have been on the Nile, I have not see such a transcendently beautiful sunset - and the colour reflected from the rocks made a great effect.

Theo dismissed the tug at 2 o’clock and we sailed at 3:30 - quite a good wind until 6 p.m. at which hour we tied up for the night, 8 miles above Asyut. It seemed very good to get rid of the tug. They are only tolerable to make speed, and this one couldn’t do it. Last year the Thothmes took us in 10 days to Luxor. This year the Anubis took 9 days to go to Asyût.

Started at 7 - the wind freshened finely at 8 o’clock and we came splendidly on until within a mile of Sohag about 7 o’clock we struck the sand sharply - and were there 3/4 of an hour. Earlier in the afternoon we came near having a serious experience, - just as we approached the landing stage at Tahta which was crowded with gyassas and people, the wind shifted, and at that moment a gyassa, crowded with people, pushed out before our prow. We could give her no room - in spite of the yells and cries of our men she came on - and disaster seemed certain for if we had struck her we would have capsized here (sic - her?)and gone over her. It is impossible to say why this kind of thing occurs so often - it is one of the greatest dangers on the Nile. A delightful day.
