36.—SENGA TO J. JEROK, _viâ_ KHOR OFAT AND KEILI.
BY CAPTAIN C. ROBERTS, R.A., FEBRUARY, 1904.
NOTE.—This was the route followed by the expedition against Ibrahim
Wad Mahmud in February and March, 1904. It has not, hitherto, been
the usual route to Keili, but as it is the most direct, and could
be easily improved, it will probably be adopted, at any rate for
Government purposes.
From the mouth of the Khor Ofat to Keili (50 miles) there are
no inhabitants and in February, 1904, no track. There is little
difficulty about water, which stands in pools in the Khor Ofat, or
can be easily obtained by digging in its bed. The distances cannot
be taken as accurate.
