TURKEY AND EGYPT.
THE KHEDIVE'S " DAHABEAH. " So many visitors have been attracted to the Nile of late years that the most familiar name of passenger and pleasure boats is that of "dahabeah. " As the visitors increased in numbers so did the number of luxuries obtainable on board these craft, till at last they had tout ce qu'il Jallait and a little more. Although steam has made its mark from the delta oi the Nile to Fashoda in various forms, and steam navigation been applied to war and peace pur...poses, it is gratifying to the lovers of canvas that the Khedive remains faithful to the old river favourite "the dahabeah " as a pleasure craft.
There is one feature very peculiar, and confined to the river Nile, about the way in which the huge yard of these boats IS carried. Most lateen sails are hoisted so that the upper part of the mast is seen above the hoisting point on halyard blocks. In the Nile boats there is no part of the mast above the yard, which rests in a saddle on the mast head. To get that yard into that saddle does not seem an easy thing, and even when there to keep it there.
