Dear Colonel Hecker.
I arrived here night before last having enjoyed a delightful three day's voyage on the "Schelswig" from Naples. Yesterday morning, I cabled you "Sanctum - arrived here safely and well, pleasant voyage. Sapience - detained here. Stuccando - August 5th".

My original plans were to leave Cairo August 2nd and sail for Shanghai on the S.S. "Derfflinger" on the following day from Port Said.
