Total 206 hours. 
These 206 hours journey are calculated at the rate of three- 
fourths of a league per hour_, a progress which appears reasonable, 
aud which gives the distance of 154| leagues. By the river, it 
is estimated at not less than 300 leagues; which makes an enor- 
mous difference; while it is evident that the abridgment of the 
journey nearly two months, in consequence of performing it by 
land, is the least advantage which Europeans will derive from the 
discovery. 
I have said that Sidi-Carachi left Galam on the 99th of March ; 
he arrived at Isle St. Louis on the Q.2d of April following. lie 
performed his journey homewards without experiencing the least 
obstacle, and was every where received with tlie most generous 
hospitality. He returned upon one of the camels which had gone 
with the party to Galam. At the village of Sambacolo he was 
treated with great distinction. The place is remarkable for being 
inhabited entirely by farmers and hardwarermanufacturers : the 
latter comprise sword-cutlers^ smiths, farriers, and copper and 
gold-smiths , but they have neither forges nor shops. They work 
outside their houses, under the shade of trees, and convey the 
whole apparatus of their trades wherever they wish to move to; 
their working materials, however, consist Quly of a very small 
anvil, a goat's-skin which serves them for bellows, a few ham- 
iners, a vice, and two or three files. 
These workmen are naturally so indolent, that they always sit 
at their emplo^inent^ and are incessantly talking and smoking.
