230 SERVICE AND SPORT IN THE SUDAN 



Captain Percival, D.S.O. (Northumberland Fusiliers), 

 and my own surveys. The figures show approximately 

 the intervening miles. 



The river, fifty miles south of Keilak, must either 

 join what I call the Bahr el Homr (from the fact that 

 a river is known to exist of that name, and also that 

 the Homr tribe live on the Shalango), or, like 



T Ju 



many other Kordofan rivers, must lose itself in the 

 sand. 



I consider that I determined the course of the 

 western sources of the Nile, for Percival crossed them 

 near their junctions with the Bahr el Ghazal, and was 

 of opinion that three, not two, great rivers form it. 

 The rivers that flow from Kordofan are surely northern 

 sources. Anyhow, let that be as it may, and let me 

 crow on my hill till some other cock knocks me off 

 by proving me wrong.
