but two, from Adowa to the north-caft. Others fay itis on 
ly five miles from the Red Sea, while it is an hundred. It 
is very extraordinary, that thefe errors fhould occur m 
the fituation of a place built by their own hands, and where 
their body long had its refidence; and, what makes it more

the moft favourable light to the Iteght, or queen-mother, 
(whofe fervant he had long been) to her daughter Ozoro 
Efther, and Ozoro Altafh; and, above all, to Michael, with 
whom his influence was very great; and, indeed, to every 
body he had. any weight with.; his.own countrymen, Greeks, 
Abyffinians, and Me Inamcenuiee and, as we found afterwar ds, 
he had raifed. their curiofity to a great pitch. 
A xinp of calm had fpread itfelf univerfally over the 
country, without apparent reafon, as it has been in general 
obferved to do immediately before a ftorm. The minds of 
men had been wearied rather than amufed, by @ con- 
ftant feries of new things, none of which had been fore- 
feen, and which generally ended in a manner little expected. 
Tired of guefling, all parties feemed to agree to give it over, * 
till the fuccefs of the campaign fhould afford them furer 
grounds to go upon. Nobody loved Michacl, but nobody 
neglected their own fafety fo much as to do or fay any thing 
againft him, till he either fhould lofe or eftablifh his good 
fortune, by the gain. or lofs of a battle with Fafil.
