(Rest house) | | |the river is 30 yards wide and 4 | | |feet deep. It takes its name from | | |a mound near the khor with two | | |knolls (Tomat = twins). Formerly | | |there were several hamlets in the | | |neighbourhood, but no traces | | |exist.[11] The nearest hillet to | | |the river was Wad Abu Hamed, just | | |N. of the khor. Easy access to | | |water at date. Track winds over | | |undulating ground intersected by | | |khors, below the plateau 1 to 2 | | |miles distant to the westward. | | |Trees not quite so thick or close. | | | _Khor Um | 4 | 48½ |The Atbara is again reached here, Garra_ | | |about 1 mile N. of its junction | | |with the Setit, which brings down | | |at this time of the year more | | |water than the Atbara, and appears | | |to be a broader and finer stream. | | | | | |Good watering place. | | | | | |The path leaves the river in a | | |N.W. direction over broken and | | |undulating ground for 1 mile. The | | |plateau is reached and again thick | | |bush and trees are passed through. | | |At 55 miles J. Akelai is visible | | |through a break in the trees, | | |nearly due E. | | | Khor Fatut | 11½ | 60 |Track winds down to this khor, and | | |then for 1½ miles passes over very | | |broken ground. Track then | | |improves; the country is not so | | |closely wooded, and several open | | |spaces are traversed. | | | _Mogatta_ | 10 | 70 |No village; grazing and watering
