Inbetween Abdel,
Budapest, China & 'the rest of the world':
we can't live without clever pilots
& cliffb{h}angers.
Fifty years ago
a pilot's tricky course through the 105-mile-long Suez Canal
began from his home base of Ismailia and ran either north through the Ballah Bypass
(near El Firdan Airfield) to Port Said on the Mediterranean or south through the Bitter lakes
to the Gulf of Suez.
A fresh water canal system
bringing water from the Nile River is primarily used for irrigation.
Railroads run all the way to the Israeli border while small sailing craft in the Gulf of Suez and Bitter Lakes are feluccas,
highmasted local traders.
The position of the Suez Canal in the Near Middle East can easily be compared to the role Yehoshua plays in our modern world of electro-magnetic stepping stones, waterfalls, aerial trade-routes in the middle of our nature and culture?
What Yeshua is for a more human world, the Pilot is for our more earthly needs & possibilities: also Suez Pilots are Indispensable Men! In the heat of the worldwide dispute over control of the Suez Canal, little at-tention has been paid to a small group of technicians without whom the canal would have to close down no
matter who ran it. Egypt or an international board. These men are the Suez Company's pilots, the elite of the world's shipping pilots. They number a little over 200, all but 40 of them non-Egyptians.
Forty-three were on home leave when Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the canal company, and most of these are extending their leaves until they see what the outcome of this dispute will be. Many of them in-dicated that if the canal is to be operated by Egypt alone
they will not return.
