However, since tlien campaigning has taken me over much of Palestine—a trip I would not have missed for a great deal. To the naturalist and antiquarian there has been almost daily something of interest to be seen. The life of a trooper is rough, of course—^very rough ; dirt is plentiful, and washing water is scarce ; food is plain—^very plain—• and generally not quite enough of it. But still we must not complain ; there is a war on, and we did not come out here as Cook's tourists. Having been used to the bush—to the back- blocks—for so long, I do not feel the roughness of the company and things in general as would a man used only to town life. My. The Australian White Egret.
