Wind changed to north. Weather became cool and
pleasant. Gale still, but shows signs of abating.
On April 18th weather somewhat abated. Stopped
at El-Mawaylah to drop Sayyid ’Abd el-Rahim;
and steamed off for Suez, where we arrived on 20th.
Voyage very slow in teeth of north wind. Yet
at Suez had had south wind for some days, and congratulated
us upon the fact.
(He used the French aneroide and the Centigrade thermometer bought at Cairo.)
