Excerpt from the article: “Since more or less peril attends the long journey over the traditional route of the Israelites from the "Land of Goshen" to the "Mount of God," the first care should be to secure an hone stand brave dragoman. My trust was placed in Mohammed Achmed Effendi Hedayah of Alexandria. We left Cairo one morning in February and rode through the land of Goshen by rail. We arrived at Suez before dark and took up our quarters in a street as curious as the Mouskee in Cairo. Our coming had been heralded by our body-servant Abdullah, who preceded us to take care of our camp equipage and to secure a boat for our passage across the Red Sea. The sail was a lovely one of about two hours, including a halt at quarantine. Our camels awaited us at the Asiatic quay, and in an hour, they had carried us to the "Wells of Moses." Only a small spring of brackish water was found at the foot of a palm, but, said our devout dragon, "it is the very place where the Israelite's first encamped." Moses here sang the song of deliverance, and here Miriam's sweet tones led the hearts of the Israelite's away from their tribulations.” Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE <div style="text-align:center"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://mostpopular.sellathon.com/?id=AC3470"><img src="http://www.sellathon.com/Resources/Images/countercredit.gif" border="0"></a></div>
