_Meshra_ | 7 | 161 |river is struck at a good meshra. | | | _Meshra | 3 | 164 |The path continuing near the Mitateb_ (Rest| | |river, Mitateb, the first meshra House). | | |in the Hadendoa country, is | | |reached. The Bisharin country on | | |right bank ends here, as also the | | |Berber Province; the Province of | | |Kassala is now entered. Rest house | | |here. | | | | | |From here the path gradually | | |ascends a gentle slope to the | | |plateau, from where Jebels Ofreik | | |and Erembat soon become visible. | | |Scattered heglig, tundub, and samr | | |trees are noticeable, of these | | |samr predominate as Goz Regeb is | | |approached. | | | | | |Two miles before reaching old | | |telegraph hut the road descends | | |from the plateau, and the river is | | |reached at this hut, which forms a | | |good halting place. The village of _Goz Regeb_ | 15 | 179 |Goz Regeb is situated on a slight (Rest House) | | |eminence close to the river on the | | |left bank, and is marked by a few | | |dom palms. Some Government | | |buildings are now in course of | | |construction on the right bank, | | |the idea being that Goz Regeb | | |should form a sanatorium for | | |Kassala during the rains. The | | |direct track to Kassala and that | | |in general use leaves J. Erembat | | |to the north, and strikes straight | | |across the level plain.
