and alfo two Obelisks, one of which is broken, Part of it lying upon the Ground. The Patriarchal Chair in the Church of the Coptic Convent is another thing usually fhewn to Strangers, and the Greeks boaft of their being poffefs'd of the Stone on which St. Catharine fuffer'd Martyrdom, with other Curiofities of the fame Nature. But we had not half Time enough to take a View of every thing in this City, and its Neighbourhood, that is worth a Traveller's Obfervation, the Ship which was to carry us to Europe fetting Sail a Week fooner than we expected. With some Reluctance therefore we embark'd the 4th of February on board a Ship bound for Marseilles, where we landed the 27th of the fame Month, and waited a Week for a Paffage to England. This fhort Time we spent very agreeably in Company of our good Friend and Fellow Traveller M. Du Marais, of whom we took our Leave the 5th of March, and fail'd for London, where we arriv'd in good Health on the 12th of April 1735, fincerely thankful to that gracious Being who had preferv'd us through the Courfe of our long Travels, and restored us fafe to our native Country.
