MORANT, MARCH, 1902. [Sidenote: General.] The road described below runs along the river bank, or the banks of khors adjoining the river. Since the erection of the telegraph line (1903), the road along the line is the more generally used, being more direct. In the rains, a road running from Renk to Goz Kash Kash thence to Awitong is said to be the one used—this road probably leaves the river about 8-10 miles to the W. -----------+-----------------------+---------------------------------- | Miles. | +-------------+---------+ Place. | | Total | Description. |Intermediate.| from | | |Khartoum.| -----------+-------------+---------+---------------------------------- Khartoum | — | — | | | | _Renk_ | 283½ | 283½ |A meshra on the W.
