He therefore decided to wait till the morning, and natified to the commander of the Orion that he would proceed then unless he received another notification from him at daybreak. What had happened was this. The Orion had observed 2,000 of Arabi's troops arriving by train, at a point some three or four miles distant from Ismailia, and taking up a position which seemed to indi- cate a design upon the portion of the Canal which passes between high banks in that direction. More
troops were seen to come up by later trains. The inference seemed natural enough that the Sir Garnet's force is being moved to the front.
