162: TRAVELS. TO DYS COVE R* 
On the 27th of January, a little paft fix in..the morning, . 
we continued fome fhort way along the river's fide, and, at: 
forty minutes pait fix o’clock, came to.Ingerohha, a fmall © 
rivulet rifing in the plain above, which, after a fhort courfe - 
through a deep valley, joins the Tacazze.- At half paft feven- 
we left the river, and began to.afcend the mountzins, which: 
forms the fouth fide of the valley, or banks of that river.

again opened a market for flour and other provifions, which : 
we procured in barter for cohol, incenfe, and beads. _None - 
but the young women appeared. They were of a lighter.- 
colour, taller, andin general-more beautiful than thofe at : 
Kella. Their nofes.feemed flatter.than thofe.of the Aby{-- 
finians we had yet feen. Perhaps the climate here was be-. 
ginning that feature fo conf{picuous in the-negroes in: ge- 
neral, and particularly of thofe in this country called Shan-. 
galla, from whofe country thefe people are not.diftant above . 
two days journey. They feemed. inclined to be very hard 
in ail bargains but thofe of one kind, in which they were.
