After changing his mind about abandoning his comrades, Professor Fulty disembarked from the White Star liner SS
Britannic before she was to start her Atlantic run in Southampton and embarked on a different ship, the SS
Egyptian Prince of the Prince line.
The
British Prince was instead was on a Mediterranean route, docking in Alexandria to offload some passengers and then Port Said to pick up cargo for the return trip to London.
The trip to Alexandria would take twelve days. Before he departed Southampton Fulty sent a telegram to the home of Alexander Mahfouz in Cairo. He made it back to the wharf with minutes to spare before the
Egyptian Prince cast off and was thus unsure if his message had been received. He could only hope, and at least he had a destination in mind once he arrived there.
