walking around. After a stay of some time, I began the more rapid descent. This made the balls of my feet some¬ what sore, but otherwise I did not feel the unusual exertion. When I reached the ground, the water-carrier who had ac¬ companied me surprised us all by wanting money because I had not drunk any water. We next mounted camels for a ride around the plateau. As we left, my Beduins clamoring for more money could be heard for some distance. Our first stop with its examination of the Sphinx was the most interesting. With the exception of a few accessory blocks of stone, this gigantic recumbent lion is hewn out of solid natural rock. It is sixty-six feet long. The face is a representation of Amenophis III. This huge monument was used as a target by the Mamelukes and was thus horribly mutilated. Nevertheless its grandeur still remains. For a small bakshish one of the omnipresent Bedu¬ ins will climb into a hollow in the head, giving one a good idea of its size. A visit was also paid to the adjoining temple. The structure is built of huge stone blocks, the floor being of alabaster, while the sides and square pier are of real granite. One of the enormous blocks of stone is nearly thirteen feet long. One cannot leave without being impressed with the simple majesty of early Egyptian art. After visiting the second and third pyramids, we returned to Cairo in time for dinner. I could go on describing the many other attractions that occupied our attention, but, as you are undoubtedly much fatigued, I will now close. Yours truly, Kali-h Fuerbringer. Luxor, Egypt, February 10, 1900.
