Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, Vol. 8: A Monthly Journal, Under Episcopal Sanction We had been tossing on the Mediterranean for four full days, and there, at last, a speck on the horizon, was the top of the lighthouse which stands near Alexandria. Soon the loftier buildings rose up from the under-world, and a little later the whole city was before us, lying on the low shore. A great breakwater throws out its long arm from the east end of the city, and, curving round to the west, leaves but a narrow opening. We steamed safely through, and in a few moments were at the wharf. A motley crowd had come down to meet us - black faces, brown faces, and white faces; head-dresses of every colour, the most striking and most common of all being the scarlet tarboosh, which popped up everywhere, like an inverted geranium-pot. I scanned all the faces eagerly, in hopes of seeing my friend, Hashan Effendi, an Egyptian officer, the commandant of a fort near Alexandria, in which he had kindly invited me to take up my abode. To my intense disappointment and bewilderment, he was nowhere to be seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
