with sight-seeing in this locality, again mounting
our donkeys, we rode about six miles to Gizeh,
where our boat, having descended the Nile during
the day, was waiting for us. We entered it most
willingly, glad to find any place of repose after so
toilsome a day. We reached Cairo about 8 o'clock.
On the morning of the ninth, we visited the
house of Dr. Abbot, where we saw a great number
of most curious and valuable Egyptian antiquities.
These, however, as we learned, formed but a small
part of the splendid collection belonging to that
gentleman, nearly the whole of which had already
been shipped to America. The same morning Ave
left for Alexandria, where we arrived the following
afternoon.
