The track continues through | | |forest with occasional open spaces _Khor Ardeiba_| 15 | 40 |to Khor Ardeiba. | | | | | |A large khor running W. between | | |hills. Water is found in several | | |places in the rock on the side of | | |the hill on left bank of khor. The | | |supply was very scanty at | | |beginning of December, and is not | | |to be relied on. | | | | | |For the first 3 or 4 miles after | | |leaving the bed of the khor the | | |track ascends and descends several | | |short steep slopes; trees | | |interfere with the path, which is | | |somewhat stony. It then crosses a | | |fairly open cotton soil plain to a | | |stone-lined well about 60 feet _J. Kajerawi_ | 10 | 50 |deep, at the foot of J. Kajerawi | | |or Ajerawi. As this well was not | | |in regular use, the water tasted | | |and smelt, but there was plenty of | | |it. | | | | | |Four miles on the track joins in | | |with the main road previously | | |described, about 5 miles S. of | | |Doka.] --------------+-------------+------+---------------------------------- 21.—ABU HARAZ TO GEDAREF.[14] BY LIEUT.-COLONEL B.
