Uo TRAVELS TO DISCOVER 



On the 28th of April, ill the morning, I failed with a car- 

 go of wheat that did not belong to me, and three pafTengers r 

 inflead of one, for whom only I had undertaken. The wind 

 was fair, and I faw one advantage of allowing the Rais to 

 load, was, that he was determined to carry fail to make a- 

 mends for the delay. There was a tumbling, difagreeable 

 fwell, and the wind feemed dying away. One of our paf- 

 fengers was very lick. At his requeft, we anchored at 

 Djar, a round fmall port, whofe entrance is at the north-eaft. 

 It is about three fathoms deep throughout, unlefs jufc upon 

 the fouth fide, and perfectly flickered from every wind. We 

 faw here, for the firft time, feveral plants of rack tree, grow- 

 ing confiderably within the fea-mark, in fome places with 

 two feet of water upon the trunk. I found the latitude of 

 Djar to be 23 36' 9" north. The mountains of Beder Hu- 

 nein were S. S. W. of us. 



The 29th, at five o'clock in the morning, we failed from 

 Djar. At eight, we pafTed a fmall cape called* Ras el Him- 

 ma ; and the wind turning flill more frefh, we pafTed a kind 

 ef harbour called Maibeed, where there is an anchoring 

 place named El Horma. The fun was in the meridian when 

 we pafTed this ; and I found, by obfervation, El Horma wa& 

 in lat. 2 3 o' 30" north. At ten we paiTed a mountain on 

 land called Soub ; at two, the fmall port of Muftura, under 

 a mountain whofe name is Hajoub ; at half pall four we 

 came to an anchor at a place called Harar. The wind had 

 been contrary all the night, being fouth-eafl, and rather 



frefh ;
