bones being all unburied and fcattered upon the furface of 
the ground where the village formerly ftood. We encamped

from them ; and onthe 23d, at fix in the morning, full of 
horror at this miferable {pectacle, we fet out,for Teawa : this 
was the feventh day from Ras el Feel. After an hour’s tra-

at Teawa, the principal village and refidence of the Shekh’

Garigana. The whole diftance, then, from Hor-Cacamoot,

el Feel, which is four miles weft of Hor-Cacamoot. From
