The hundreds of miles of desert sea-coast, hemmed in on the sea-side by dangerous coral reefs, are inhabited, at very large intervals, by small communities of Bedouins, who, to the legitimate occupation of mother-of-pearl divers, unite those of petty pirates, smugglers, and slave-runners", p. 77); operations of the Gulf division in the Arabian Sea, etc. The relevant correspondence is to be found under the headings "Egypt" and "Egypt.
