Little
by
little
the
scene
on
the
quay
became
more
animated
;
sailors
of
various
nations
,
merchants
,
ship-brokers
,
porters
,
fellahs
,
bustled
to
and
fro
as
if
the
steamer
were
immediately
expected
.
The
weather
was
clear
,
and
slightly
chilly
.
The
minarets
of
the
town
loomed
above
the
houses
in
the
pale
rays
of
the
sun
.
A
jetty
pier
,
some
two
thousand
yards
along
,
extended
into
the
roadstead
.
A
number
of
fishing-smacks
and
coasting
boats
,
some
retaining
the
fantastic
fashion
of
ancient
galleys
,
were
discernible
on
the
Red
Sea
.
As
he
passed
among
the
busy
crowd
,
Fix
,
according
to
habit
,
scrutinised
the
passers-by
with
a
keen
,
rapid
glance
.
It
was
now
half-past
ten
.
"
The
steamer
does
n't
come
!
"
he
exclaimed
,
as
the
port
clock
struck
.
"
She
ca
n't
be
far
off
now
,
"
returned
his
companion
.
"
How
long
will
she
stop
at
Suez
?
"
"
Four
hours
;
long
enough
to
get
in
her
coal
.
It
is
thirteen
hundred
and
ten
miles
from
Suez
to
Aden
,
at
the
other
end
of
the
Red
Sea
,
and
she
has
to
take
in
a
fresh
coal
supply
.
"
"
And
does
she
go
from
Suez
directly
to
Bombay
?
"
"
Without
putting
in
anywhere
.
"
"
Good
!
"
said
Fix
.
"
If
the
robber
is
on
board
he
will
no
doubt
get
off
at
Suez
,
so
as
to
reach
the
Dutch
or
French
colonies
in
Asia
by
some
other
route
.
He
ought
to
know
that
he
would
not
be
safe
an
hour
in
India
,
which
is
English
soil
.
