N. B. This is the feftival of the Crofs in Egypt, 

 when the inundation begins to abate. It rains no 

 more in Abyffiniatill towards the beginning of No- 

 vember, and then only for a few days ; but thefe 

 are the rains Abyflinia cannot want for their latter 

 crops, and it was for thefe the Agows prayed when 

 we were at the fountains of the Nil* the 5th of 

 November 1770..
