red, I foon fell found afleep; having firft taken’ fome drops: 
of a ftrong {pirituous tincture of the bark. which I hads 
prepared at Gondar, refolving; if I found any remiffion, as: 
I then did, to take feveral good dozes of the bark in pow-- 
der on the morrow, bien thine at day-break, which I ace 
coidingly did with its ufual fuccefs.. : 
Ow the 2oth of April, a little after the dawn of day, the- 
Shekh, in great anxiety, came to the place where I was. 
lying, upon a tanned buffaloe’s hide, on the ground. His: . 
forrow was foon turned into joy when he found me quite: 
recovered from my. illnefs.. I had taken the bark, and. 2 
exprefied a defire of eating a hearty breakfait of rice, which: :

cine. Secing me take fome drops of the tin¢ture before: .\ 
coffee, he infifted upon pledging me, and I believe would

fuffered great agony with -his own complaint, he had: 
paffed fome fmall ftones, and was greatly better, as he faid,.

favour for him equal to this, as his agony had been fos 4 
great. He told me our Moullah was arrived from .Teawa,. 
and had left Shekh Fidele ftill repining atour departure, , 
without leaving him the piaftres.. As for the eclipfe, he: 
faid he did: not care a‘ ftraw, nor for what they did or 
knew at Mecca, for he had no intereft there.. lunderftood 
our friend Mahomet, Shekh of Beyla, had been under great. 
uneafinefs at the eclipfe, when it advanced in the immer-- 
fion,.and became total,. Some time before. this, as he: faid,. 
there.
