Thursday, Nov. 27, 1930 Dear W.: ”Emit-Ha me strtrely once that I would be disappointed in the S' rot, and the Pynmids. 1, wnsn’t _Yyst I am grateful to you, for my not be-‘us home! ing was probably due to the Net that‘ _ -.------ I had been warned it wouldn't all be exactly like the pictures you iiiiG) MEDITERRANEAN see of it. You told me that the poor F Sphinx sits down in a hollow so that CRUISE " first you almost look over her " a head. And that the debris of the ex- 2R ' cavating work going on is very 'tiii) ttts. It ii p. tering. It is. But just the same kiil 7 when we rode up on our camels I) ‘ - ' . felt all the thrills that my moat chil- Fr ilfl 'tt #1 ish hopes had anticipated. There I they stood, ageless as the desert l I . which stretched beyond, or so it I I a seemed, with the familiar contours, " least, of a log held picture. In a) , l spite of my camel’s Jerky ridiculous k ‘ gait, I approached them with rever- I , ence in ntheart. _ "7s"s"d ‘ a We spent an hour of the late after- noon with them, nnd then pushed on to our night’s clmping ground. Such camping! Tents that Cleopatra her- seld could not have spurned. A din- ing tent that wt" more nearly I ben- quet hull. Our cooks, seeming to wish to Justify their number, had reldy for us I tea of staggering propor- tions. Almost immediately, or utter we had spent an hour trying to get lost in the desert, they spread a seven course dinner before us. Wine, spe- tial Egyptian cigarettes, perfect service. It struck oddly on our American idea of csmping out, but it fitted in, too, with I sort of dream idea'ol a night spent in the desert. After dinner, we somehow mounted our surly hunts, and went at a neck. rncking trot back toward the Pyre- mids, The chief reason of our expe- dition was to see the Sphinx by moonlight. In the light of the rising moon, or sun. shadows Ire thrown upward from her mouth end she seems to smile. We gathered. on our camels. in a rather awe-struck ring and need into her enigmnticnl flee. Our dram-man told u! strunge tales of things that have happened here. The etunldrivers sent up some rock- ets before her, then, " last we turn. Lt, Ind Med back across the desert toward our "ttttstirs. Next day we had a grand day of sight-seeing and shopping in Cairo. In the evening we went to see the whirlitut dewishes. They are amu- lng. The room was hot and crowded --a circular place especially built for whirling. We Mood about for a long time in awesome silence, while to the shrill notes of music the dervishes tried to “get religion." They made slight swaylnz movements, their eyes closed. until all at once. one of them, a sort of leader, unsteadlly rose. One of our party said sepulchrally, "We're off!” and we had to smother hysterical giggles behind our hands.
