THE SOURCE OF THE NILE. 193 
Tuts day we met feveral caravans going to Tigré, a cer- 
tain fign of Michael’s victory ; alfo vaft flocks of cattle driven 
from the rebellious provinces, which were to pafture on La- 
malmon, and had been purchafed from the army. Not only 
the country was now more cultivated, but the people were 
cleanlier, better dreffed, and apparently better fed, than. 
thofe in the other parts we had left behind us. Indeed, from 
Shimbra Zuggan hither, there was not a foot, excepting the 
path on which we trode, that was not fown with fome grain © 
or other. 
On the 14th, at feven o’clock in the morning, we continu- 
ed our journey. Atten minutes paft feven, we had five vil- 
lages of Tamamo three miles on our left; our road was 
through gentle rifing hills, all pafture ground. At half paft 
feven, thevillageof Woggora was three miles on our right; 
and at eight, the church of St George a mile on our left, - 
with a village of the fame name near it; and, ten minutes 
after, Angaba Mariam, a church dedicated to the virgin, fo 
called from the fmall territory Angaba, which we are now 
entering. At fifty minutes paft eight, we came to five vil- 
lages called Angaba, at {mall diftances from each other. 
At nine o’clock we came to Koflogué, and entered a {mall 
diftrict of that name. The church is ona hill furrounded 
with trees. On our left are five villages all called Kofio- 
gué,andas it were ona line,'‘the fartheit at 3 miles diftance; 
near ten we came to the church of Argiff, in the midft of 
many ruined villages. Three miles on our left hand are 
feveral others, called Appano. | 
Arter having fuffered, with infinite-patience and perfe- 
verance, the hardfhips and danger of this long and painful
