When I awoke the next mornmg I found my head resting against the rear wheel of my jeep, my bedding roll untouched in the back, and my mess tin full of last night's bully stew. Later in the day we crossed the Bahariya track, and after many more miles, as the sun began to east long black shadows, we topped the last ridge. Below us lay a wide luxurious belt of palms; through the palm trees and paddy fields ran the Nile. We picked up our glasses and recognized the familiar minarets of the citadel just visible against the blue cliffs. Wearily we dismounted our guns and turned towards the pyramids.
