The eyes of the world are now fixed on the Soudan, where the Anglo-Egyptian expedition is marching toward Dongola to crush the power of the Khalifa Abdullah, who succeeded the Mahdi, of Khartoum fame. The advance guard of

the expedition has reached Akasheh, between the second and third cataracts of the Nile, without encountering any of the Khalifa’s forces, which it is believed are concentrated at Dongola. The frontier march of the expedition is through the

Nubian desert, where perils of many kinds are numerous. Dealing with the march of the expedition we print an illustration taken from the Illustrated London News, of an Egyptian camel corps patrolling the hot sands in seajch of the enemy.
