steamers without additional payment, provided they give notice of their intention at the time of engaging their passage.
The above rates include stewards' fees and table, wines, &c., &c., for cabin passen- gers, with 3 cwt. of personal baggage. For servants, a d 2d class passengers, provisions without wines, and là cwt. of baggage. Bedding, linen, and all requisite furniture, are provided at the Company's expense, together with the attendance of experienced male and female servants.
No package of baggage should exceed 80lb. in weight. The dimensions most con- venient for transporting across the desert on the camels, and therefore strongly recommended, are, length 2 feet 3 in., breadth 1 foot 2 in., depth 1 foot 2 inches.
All heavy or bulky baggage must be shipped on the day previous to sailing. Passengers taking articles of merchandise in their baggage will incur the risk of seizure by the customs authorities in Egypt; and as the allowance of baggage is on a liberal scale, and the freight on parcels moderate, it is hoped that none will convey parcels or packages belonging to other persons, to the prejudice of the Company's interests.
The Company do not hold themselves liable for damage or loss of baggage, nor for delays arising from accident, from extraordinary or unavoidable circumstances, or from the employment of the vessels in H. M. mail service.
Charge for dogs $18,00 ; 25 cents a day for fool, and expenses in Egypt.
N. B. Passengers not proceeding after securing berths, to forfeit half passage money.
