From this point | | |there is a much used short cut | | |straight across to Kodok. The road | | |from Uryong as far as the | | |beginning of the Dunjol villages | | |must be almost entirely under | | |water at high Nile, but even then | | |the Dinkas can find the track, | | |which is marked here and there by | | |small mud heaps. In the dry season | | |from Uryong to Dunjol is generally | | |traversed by night, as there is no | | |water obtainable till the Dunjol | | |wells are reached. From Uryong the | | |road traverses open marsh land for | | |about 2½ miles and then enters a | | |belt of thick white thorn about 3 | | |miles wide. After this the country | | |gets more and more bare, and for | | |the last half of the way to Dunjol | | |there are no trees at all. | | | _Dunjol_ | 31 | 31 |At Dunjol there are a number of | | |Dinka villages which stretch north | | |along a very shallow khor, in | | |which wells are sunk some 30 feet | | |deep in the black clay. They are | | |revetted with grass. | | | | | |The tree belt near the Nile is | | |visible from these villages, and | | |there are many paths leading off | | |it. After following the line of | | |the khor for about 5 miles, the | | |road strikes off towards the Nile
