Note 19 — Chapter I
Reading edition
This is the computation:
Hours.
From Augila to the Mountains of Moraije 26
To the Plain of Sultin 18
Across the Plain or Desert of Sultin, &c. to a woody tract, 3 journies; but no account in hours, say 34
To the entrance of the black Harutsch, about 1 day, say 10
To a watering-place in the Harutsch 4
To the end of the black Harutsch, 3½ days; say 40
Through the white Harutsch, 1½ day; say 15
To a watering-place on the borders of Fezzan 4
To Temissa 9
Zuila 6¾
Hamarra 7
Tragan 10¾
Sidi Bisher 8
Mourzouk 3
195½
The road distance, at 2¼ British miles per hour, gives 488¾, which, at ¹⁄₂₀ part for windings, as before, would give 463½; or in G. miles about 409. I have deducted 14 for the extraordinary windings and roughness of the paths, in the black Harutsch.
Remains G. miles 395, for the direct distance between Augila and Mourzouk.
