Bakura, three days ; a large walled town, and 
residence of a sultan : streams in rainy season. 
From Rati to Bakura extends the province or 
kingdom called Zanfeierra, of which the capital is 
Bakura. 
Between Bakura and the city of Sakkatou, 
which comes next in order, after two days, there 
are a number of small villages. Before you reach 
Sakkatou from Kanou, distant an hour, is a large 
river, in which is found water during the dry 
season. 
On this route there are not many forests, but 
there is a good deal of grain and other cultivation, 
with very few rocks. The road is usually good, 
only now and then infested by the freebooters from 
Maradee. This route is travelled in from ten to 
twelve and fifteen days, — not above fifteen,— with 
anything like good travelling.
