M. George Marie, of the État-Major, Egyptian army, an engineer converted into a geologist and mineralogist; he was under the orders of his Highness Prince Husayn Pasha. Mr. J. Charles J. Clarke, telegraphic engineer, ranking as major in Egypt, commissariat officer. M. Émile Lacaze, of Cairo, artist and photographer. M. Jean Philipin, blacksmith. Besides these, Mr. David Duguid,--not related to "Hafed, Prince of Persia,"--chief engineer of the gunboat Mukhbir (Captain Mohammed Síráj), accompanied us part of the way on temporary leave, and kindly assisted me in observing meteorology and in making collections. The Egyptian commissioned officers numbered six, viz.:-- Ahmed Kaptán Musallam, commander in the navy, and ranking as Sakulághási (major). He had been first officer in the Sinnár, and he was sent to make astronomical observations; but he proved to be a confirmed invalid. Of the Arkán-Harb (Staff) were:-- Lieutenant Amir Rushdi, who had accompanied me before. Lieutenant Yusuf Taufik. Lieutenant Darwaysh Ukkáb, of the Piyédah or infantry. He was also a great sufferer on a small scale. Sub-Lieutenant Mohammed Farahát, of the Muhandism (Engineers), in charge of the Laggámgiyyah or Haggárah (blasters and quarrymen). He ended by deserting his duty on arrival at Cairo. The non-commissioned officers, all Egyptians, amounted to seven:-- Bulúk-amín (writer) Mohammed Sharkáwi (infantry). Chawush (serjeant) 'Atwah El-Ashírí (infantry). Chawush (serjeant) Mabrúk Awadh (quarryman); deserted at Cairo. Onbáshi (corporal) Higázi Ammár (Staff). Onbáshi (corporal) Mohammed Sulaymán (infantry) : also our barber, and a good man. Onbáshi (corporal) Mahmu'd Abd el-Rahmán (infantry): I had to put him in irons. Onbáshi (corporal) Ibráhím Hedíb. There were three Nafar (privates) of the Staff:-- 'Ali 'Brahim Ma'danji, generally known as Ali Marie, from the officer whom he served; a hard-working man, over-devoted to his master. I recommended him for promotion. Ramazán Ramazán. Hasan Mohammed. He proved useful, as he brought with him all the necessary tools for mending saddles. The twenty-five privates of infantry were emancipated negroes, a few being from the Súdán; composed of every tribe, it was a curious mixture, good, bad, and indifferent. Some were slaves who had been given, in free gift, by their owners to the Mírí (Government), and men never part with a good "chattel," except for a sufficient cause. As will be seen, many of the names are "fancy":-- Sayyid Ahmed El-Tawíl. Yúsuf Faragallah (Faraj-Allah). Farag 'Ali.
