all perifked with hunger the year before; their wretched
bones being all unburied and fcattered upon the furface o f
the ground where the village formerly flood. We encamped
among the bonesfof the dead; no fpace could be found free
from them ; and on the 23d, at fix in the morning, fu ll o f
horror at this miferable fpeffacle, we fet ouqfor T e aw a : this
was the feventh day from Ras e l Feel. After an hour’s trave
lling we came to a fmall river, which fti-U had water
Handing in fome cpnfiderable pools, although its banks
were perfeiUy deftitute o f any kind o f fhade.
A t three quarters after feven in the evening we arrived
at.Teawa, the principal village and fefidenee o f the Sh'ekh
o f Atbara, between three and four miles from the ruins o f
Garigana* The whole diftance, then, from Hor-Cacamoot,
may be about fixty-five miles to Teawa, as near as I th e n
could compute; thatis, from Hor-Cacamoot to Rafliid, thirty
two miles, and from Ralhid to Teawa, thirty-three mile s;„
but Ralhid from Hor-Cacamoot bears N. W. and by N. and.
the latitudes are -
Teawa, **- lat.: 14* 4" N. k
Hor-Cacamoot, 130 1' 33"
Difference, lat. i°. o' 31"
T h e difference o f longitude is then but five or fix nffles ; fo
that Teawa is very little to the weftward o f due north from
Hor-Cacamoot, and nearly in the fame meridian with Ras
e l Feel, which is four miles weft o f Hor-Cacamoot. From
Inihaqzara to Teawa, hut efpecially from Imgellalib, we
* went
went always to the eaftward o f north. From Teawa we
obferved the following bearings and diftances i
Beyla, W. S. W. about 28 miles at fartheft.
Hafib, S. and by W.
Jibbel Imfiddera, S. about 8 miles, where is good water.
Mendera, N. 48 miles ; indifferent w ater from deep wells.
Ralhid, S. nearly 33 miles ; plenty o f good water all the
year.
I Jibbel Ifriff, E. N. E. about three miles ; water.
Jibbel Attelh and Habharras, W. and by N. between 50
and 60 miles.
Sennaar, W. and by N. as far as we could guefs about 70
miles.
Guangue River, from 14 to 16 miles due eaft.
Derkin, E.N.E. about 27 miles.
At Garigana, feveral o f our caravan, with their afies and
loading o f fait, left us, either afraid o f entering Teawa, or
becaufe their friends dwelt at Jibbel Ifriff, where the clan
o f Jehaina were then encamped, being afraid o f the Arabs
Daveina, who, the preceding year, had deftroyed all the
crops and villages that belonged to them, or rather reaped
them for their own advantage. The whole tribe o f Jehainaf
is greatly their inferiors in all refpefts, and as by affem-
bling upon Jibbel Ifriff, a low though very rugged ridge
o f hills, abounding in water, where the pits in which they
hide their grain were, and where, too, they had depofited
the principal o f their effefts, they had given this pledge o f
mutual affiftance to the inhabitants o f Teawa in cafe o f an
attack from thofe great deftroyers the Daveina.
