Orderly dog today. Gun drill six to eight, skeleton work just with the b---, but no guns on wagons.

Franklyn and I have got a few days leave, so we started for Cairo by the 7:30 train from Kantara this evening. Had dinner in the train. The Cairo line leaves the canal at Ishmailia. We arrived in Cairo at midnight and have taken a room at Shepheard's Hotel.
