| | |in Khor Abu Sillem, also shade. | | |N.W. still 6 miles further to Khor _Khor Breitak_| 6 | 62½ |Breitak, there I found two pools | | |of rain-water, muddy, but sweet. | | |They were in the khor and were | | |about 40 yards long, 6 yards broad | | |and 1 foot deep. About 5 miles of | | |some of the best grazing I have | | |seen in the country. The Sheikh | | |said the water had been there 2 | | |months and would only last 9 days | | |more, another Arab I asked said a | | |month more. The Sheikh also | | |pointed out the road to the N. to _Bir Tendera_ | 13 | 75½ |Bir Tendera; both he and my guides | | |said half a day’s journey, _i.e._, | | |13 miles, easy road, and it looked | | |good what I saw of it. Very good | | |shade here. | | | | | |From Tendera, Adarama is 40 miles | | |(Arabs 2 days, loaded camels), | | |road easy (there may be a little | | |cotton soil), some shade and grass | | |at Bir Tendera, also some shade at Sekotieb | 20 | 95½ |Sekotieb (?), 20 miles (about) | | |from Adarama. The well (Tendera) | | |itself is large, always has water | | |in it. | | | Adarama | 20 | 115½ |This information, though I have | | |seen the road as far as Khor | | |Shedieb and corroborate it so far, | | |is hearsay, as I had not time to | | |go there myself. My informants are | | |my two guides, Sheikh Mohammed Isa | | |and the Mulazim Awal, of Slavery | | |Department at Adarama, all of whom | | |have been there, and many Arabs | | |_re_ water. --------------+-------------+------+----------------------------------
