At first this symptom was seen in no case. Excepting the 61st regiment, the army was in a very healthy state. Fever was equally mild as in last month. Opthalmia began again to appear. In the last return there were sixty cases, fifty of which were Europeans. Of seventy-one men with ulcers, sixty were Europeans. The total sick of the army, at the end of the month, did not exceed three hundred; and in this are included every ulcer, accident, or less serious complaint, which prevents a soldier from appearing on parade. MAY. At the commencement of this month the principal part of the army was still encamped at Alexandria. On the last day of April orders arrived from England to General Baird, to return with his army to India, and to detach the 10th, 61st, and 88th, regiments, which were placed on the British establishment. On the 3d the Indian army began the march to Ghiza, where it remained encamped by the pyramids for some days, until water and the passage over the desert were reported to be ready. At length the march commenced with the sick. We crossed the river, encamped at Boulac, set off from Cairo, and, passing the ruins of Heliopolis, made Birket El Hadje our first stage. Our marches over the desert of Suez, as in crossing the great desert, were all performed during the night, and we always encamped by sunrise in the morning. Luckily there had much rain fallen before we marched; and at one place in the middle of the desert, and again at Suez, we found large collections of rain-water, from which all were well supplied. By the end of the month the whole corps, except the 7th Bombay regiment, had crossed the desert and arrived at Suez. Part of the army was encamped near the town of Suez, and part at Moses Wells, nine miles on the eastern side of the Red Sea. The march over the desert of Suez was performed with much greater ease than that over the desert of Thebes. The weather was cool and favourable, the hot winds were less felt, and we found abundance of good water provided at the different stations. At the time of our arrival we found Suez very healthy. Though the plague had travelled as far as Cairo and all the neighbouring villages, it had not reached Suez till the arrival of the army.
