COLONIALS IN EGYPT.
WELCOMED BY INDIANS.
Received Tuesday, 7.15 p.m. Sydney, Tuesday.
"Banjo Patterson," the Herald's commissioner with the Expeditionary Force, says- there was great, excitement aboard the transports when orders were issued to get ready to disembark at Egypt, when they expected to remain aboard for weeks yet. He mentions the expedition was officially informed the Turks had put up a gun in the Red Sea with a view to blowing the convoy out of the water, but a Force at Aden chased them off and captured the gun. As we pasHed through the Canal camps Indian troops were stretched along the banks and welcomed the Australasians cordially. Thn voyage was one continuous drill, drill, drill.
