_Khor Abu | 1 | 6½ |A well defined channel 20 yards
Zagoli_ | | |wide, banks 10 feet high, and
| | |steep. Halting place for water 200
| | |yards S. of the khor. Water from
| | |the Nile about 1 mile. Cultivation
| | |at the mouth of the khor. Shelter
| | |tukls at halting place.
| | |
_El Kharaba_ | 3 | 9½ |Three ways lead to the village
| | |which lies E. of the road not
| | |visited. Recognised camping
| | |ground, much overgrown with trees
| | |and little clear space. No tukls,
| | |¼ mile to water. From here to
| | |about the 15th mile the river is
| | |inaccessible, country flat, road
| | |good. At 15 miles it approaches
| | |the river on a high bluff, and
| | |Dakhila can be seen. Thence road
| | |descends and would in the wet
| | |season be very swampy. Thick
| | |jungle.
| | |
_Dakhila_ | 8½ | 18 |Small village of about 30 tukls.
| | |Lies very low and has all the
| | |appearance of being feverish.
| | |
| | |Water supply in the dry season
| | |from a muddy pool in a dried up
| | |channel, bad.
| | |
| | |From Dakhila the road runs W.
| | |following the river, passing the
| | |spurs of J. Maba at about the 22nd
| | |mile, road hilly and stony. After
| | |passing Maba, country is more
| | |open.
| | |
Khor Abu Ge | 7 | 25 |Stony 100 yards wide, banks steep.
