As Dr. Suleïman Bey complained that his two sick children, interned at
the Citadel with their mother, received no medical care, they were
examined by Dr. Blanchod. The one suffered on its arrival in camp from
ophthalmia, now completely cured, no trace of photophobia remains, no
redness nor oedema; the other had its sub-maxillary glands enlarged;
these glands are now reduced and nothing to worry about.

These two children have received constant care from (Dr.) Captain
Scrimgeour, their names are repeatedly entered in the infirmary
register, and their mother herself expressed gratitude for the care
which had been lavished upon them.

Dr. Suleïman Bey's complaints upon this point therefore proved equally
inexact.




~6. The Ras-el-Tin Camp.~

_(Visited January 5, 1917.)_


This camp of interned civilians is situated on a rising ground beside
the sea, 5 kilometres (3 miles) from Alexandria.

The camp contains 45 Ottoman civilians of military age, and 24 others;
the latter are all elderly men, or have been exempted from military
service owing to illness. There is one priest (imaum). We also found 400
Austro-Germans interned at Ras-el-Tin; many of them had been in Egypt
