536 TRAV EL S TO DISCOVER © 
AT Dinglebér I overtook my fervants, who were difpofed 
to top there for that night. They had been very much op- 
prefled by troops of wild Galla, who never havens feen 
white men, could not refrain indulging a troublefome cu- 
riofity, without indeed doing any harm, or fhewing any 
figns of infolence; this, however, did not hinder my fer- 
vants from being testified as neither I nor any protector 
was near them. I refolved toavoid the like inconvenience, 
by proceeding further, as I knew the next day the main 
body of thefe favages would be up with us at Dingleber; ; 
_and I rather wifhed to be at the point where our two roads 
feparated, than pafs a whole day in fuch company. Itis true, 
I was under no fort of apprehenfion, for I perceived Fafil’s 
horfe driven before us commanded all neceflary refpect, 
and Zor Woldo had no occafion to exert himfelf at all. : 
Ar four o’clock in the afternoon we left Dingleber, and 
at feven pafled a great river; at eight in the evening we 
crofled two inconfiderable ftreams, and came toa collection 
of {mall villages, called Degwafla: here we entered i into fome 
narrow defiles between mountains, covered to the very top 
with herbage, and brufhwood ; it was a delightful night, 
and we were refolved to make che mott of it. On every fide ~ - 
of us we heard Guinea fowls, of which the woods here are 
full. At half paft nine we halted a little, juft leaving the 
narrow pafles,-and entering upon the plain. The diftrict is” 
called Sankraber. I found myfelf exceedingly mee Ash and 
-flept a good half hour upon the Bao 
At half paft ten we began our journey anew, paffing im- 
mediately the {mall village of Wainadega, famous for the 
decifive battle fought between king Claudius and the Moor
