Hints to Steamboat Passengers. Daring tlie height of the sea- son (in Egypt Jan. and Feb., in other parts of the Mediterranean March, April and even May) passages often have to be l)ooked a month or sis weeks in advance. Holders of return-tickets or eonihined tickets must secure berths for the return-voyage also long beforehand. lleavif litiyyaye, to he stowed away in the hold, should ho sent on hoard at least one or two days beforehand. Each ])assenger should endeavour, for his own sake aiul that of others, to limit his reiiuirements for the voyage to one or two cabin-trunks of modi'rate size. Private eahins should, as a rule, he kept locked, and small articles should not he left lying about on deck uuwatched. Lautiuty or Kmbarlation by small boat is often an unpleasant pro- ceeding, as the boatmen are apt to be extortionate in their demands, especially when the sea is rough. The charge for each passenger with his baggage should he ascertained beforehand and onlv pain at the end of the trip, or the whole transaction may be entrusti'd'to one of the hotel- agents. Small articles carried in the hand should not be allowed out of sight. The Foud is generally good. CotVee is served between 8 and ](>, lunch at 1 or earlier, dinner at U or 7. l‘'irst-class passengers in the Hritish and (ierman steamers dress for dinner. The Fees vary according to circumstances.
