From Googah to Garah, commencing at the Bund. 



One furlong. — Cross the bed of a canal, about fifteen paces wide, with 

 very steep banks, and the earth heaped up on the sides, making it from 

 ten to fifteen feet deep. There is also a small ditch, and the whole 

 would require a good deal of work to render the road passable for guns. 



Five furlongs. — Road good over a level country, partially covered 

 with grass and jungle, low hills about a mile to the left. 



Seven furlongs. — A small canal, country to the right covered with 

 coarse grass, upon which herds of cattle were grazing. On the left, 

 a tamarisk jungle, but by no means thick. 



One mile and one furlong. — Jungle for a short distance, and road 

 somewhat cut up, but soon becomes hard and good over a level plain, 

 on which low bushes are scattered. Herds of camels, principally 

 females, with young ones, seen grazing. 



Three miles — A canal dry, with a little grass on its banks. 



Five miles. — A dry ditch. Road continues hard and good. 



Five miles and one furlong. — A dry ditch, road enters a jungle, 

 which requires clearing. 



Five miles and four furlongs — Descend into the dry sandy bed of a 

 river, along which the road runs for about two and half furlongs. A 

 branch joins from the left, in which there is a pool of bad water. The 

 bed of the river is about twenty paces broad. Banks not very steep, 

 but a good deal broken and covered with jungle. On leaving the 

 bed of the river, the road runs for a mile over wreaths of fine loose 

 sand, into which horses sink very much, and which would be almost, 

 not quite, impassable for guns. A few bushes are scattered upon the 

 surface. 



Seven miles and seven furlongs. — Road enters a jungle, and is 

 pretty good. 



Eight miles. — A small dry canal, road hard and good. Country 

 continues a plain, covered with low jungles. 



Eight miles and one furlong — Descend into the bed of a river, the 

 banks are covered with jungle, which does not however extend far. 



Eight miles and five furlongs. — A dry canal, road a little broken, 

 but in general hard and good.
