This arrangement was agreed to, and we parted.
Our camels returned from Geera with corn, accompanied by an Abyssinian hunter, who was declared by Abou Do to be a good man and dexterous with the sword.

We accordingly moved our camp, said adieu to Florian and Johann, and penetrated still deeper into the country of the Bas-e.
Our course lay, as usual, along the banks of the river.

We decided to encamp at a spot known to the Arabs as Deladilla.

This was the forest upon the margin of the river where I had first shot the bull elephant when the aggageers fought with him upon foot.

I resolved to fire the entire country on the following day, and to push still farther up the course of the Settite to the foot of the mountains, and to return to this camp in about a fortnight, by which time the animals that had been scared away by the fire would have returned.
