2 TRAVELS TO DISCOVER 
ON the r1th we continued our journey in our formet 
road, till we arrived at the church of Abbo; we them 
turned to the right, our courfe N. by E. and at three quar- 
ters paft nine refted under the mountain on the right of 
the valley; our road lay ftill through Goutto, but the coun- 
try here is neither fo. well inhabited nor fo pleafant as the

which runs the Jemma, deep, wide, and full of trees, which 
continue up the fides of the mountains Amid Amid. At a2. 
quarter paft eleven we paffed a {mall flream coming froma 
the weft, and at twelve another very dangerous river called 
Utchmi, the ford of which is in the midft of two catara¢ts,, 
and the ftream very rapid; after pafling this river, we en-. 
tered a narrow road in the midft of brufhwood, pleafant 
and agreeable, and full of a kind of foxes * of a bright 
gold colour. At three quarters paft one we halted at the: 
houfe of Shalaka Welled Amlac, with whom I was. welk 
acquainted at Gondar; his houfe is called Welled Abea: 
Abbo, from a church of Abbo about an eight part of a mile: 
diftant.

of this remarkable character to my reader, that I might 
not trouble him to go back to paft tranfactions that are not 
of confequence enough to interrupt the thread of my nar- 
rative. Soon after I had feen part of the royal family, that
