THE SOURCE OF THE NILE. 109 



It was believed very generally, by Amha Yafous coming in

 both fides, begun at his inflance, would bring every man 

 that could mount a horfe from as far fouth as Gingiro, to 

 over-run both the provinces of Begemder and Amhara, and 

 either difplace the two governors, or at leaft force them to 

 their duty; and it was owing to this, in all probability, that 

 Gufho zO:ed with fuch moderation as he did in the camr. 

 paign that foon followed.
