48.—NASSER TO URYONG.[24]
BY MAJOR GWYNN, C.M.G., D.S.O., FEBRUARY, 1901.
There is a good road in the dry season from Nasser down the Sobat.
Practically no supplies can be obtained from natives, but guinea fowl
are common and gazelle can generally be shot. There are generally
plenty of trees and bush as far as Nyakwoik, but after entering the
Dinka country the only trees which are seen are a few grown in the
villages for shade. The Dinkas carry charcoal long distances for fuel.
