I fancy they all resent the superior commands being English. They do not mess with the English officers, and live much apart. This is no doubt partly because the English know very little Arabic. Ibrahim Bey spoke excellent English, and dined with us on board. There are two young fellows, Englishmen of the Royal En- gineers, who have been sent out here to make the railroad to Murad, excellent ingenuous youths of perhaps 'twenty-three or twenty-four, to whom it is great fun and solid advancement,... as they are given the rank of majors in the Egyptian army. This is a sample of what leads to discontent among the native officers, for the work is an absolutely simple one, and could be performed by any of their own engineers. Yet 'these young Englishmen have it.
