[Apparently 1877. See Bull. No. 1, p. 2]
Jeddah to Souakin &
Massowah
Wind favorable and cross
in night. Next day appear
on right hand high serrated
peaks in dim distance
with low, sandy shore.
All is mysterious, all pure
undisturbed Nature, majestic
and solitary. No sign of life. Some [?] while
points raised by mirage to
billows indicate Souakin
