A representative of Messrs. Mappin and Webb, the well-known silversmiths, waited on Mr. A. E. Garwood, on Friday last, on behalf of the Locomotive Staff of the Egyptian Government Railways, to present him with a testimonial (purchased by them from Messrs. Mappin and Webb), as a souvenir and mark of their respect and esteem. The testimonial consists of a very handsome timepiece, with side ornaments, together with an album of photographs of Egyptian views, etc., etc. The inscription is as follows :
'A token of respect presented to A. E. Garwood, Esq., C.E., late Locomotive and Carriage Superintendent, by the Locomotive Staff, Egyptian Government Railways. Egypt, 1884.'
Mr. Garwood begged Messrs. Mappin and Webb to assure the committee and the subscribers that he felt and appreciated the kindness that prompted his old staff to send him such a handsome souvenir. The gift would be much prized, and would remind him of the old days when the work they did together was a source of real pleasure and satisfaction. Without the cordial assistance of his staff, it would have been impossible to do the work that was done for the Egyptian Government during the five years he was at their head. With reference to the events of 1882, residents in Egypt, both European and native, owed much to the faithful and energetic manner every man did his duty during the trying times before the bombardment of Alexandria, when thousands were leaving the interior of Egypt by the railways, the European Railway Administrators having abandoned their offices in Cairo. It was, and always would be, an immense satisfaction to him that throughout that time no serious accident or delay occurred in the train service on the various railways. The breakdown of his health towards the end counted as nothing in comparison. Mr. Garwood regretted that the treatment he received when ill in Alexandria at the hands of the British Consul and his medical adviser, and the subsequent injustice from the Egyptian Government, through their Financial Adviser, and the Railway Administrators, exclusive of the Egyptian Administrator, necessitated the severance of his connection with his staff, but he would never forget the kindness and the cordial support he at all times received from them. He was sure they would be all glad to know that his health had much benefitted by the change of climate, and that he had congenial occupation.
