Throughout the journey from the Nile, the country had been thickly populated. At Mooge we camped in a large village on the hill. February 12. We started at 5.25, and marched straight to Lobore, a distance of fourteen miles.
"February 17. A slight shower fell this morning. The sheik of Mooge arrived to see me last evening, and presented a fat goat. "I am trying to persuade him and old Abbio to join in cutting the cart-road through the forest from Mooge. I gave Abbio a mixture of sulphate of zinc for his eyes, and put a mustard plaster on Wani the interpreter's stomach.
This old fellow was half-blind; but he seemed very willing to assist, and, after I had explained the object of my visit, he assured me that his people would go to the vessels if accompanied by my soldiers, and that I need not be uneasy about my baggage. The Lobore are not Bari. I was delighted to have passed the southern frontier at Mooge, and to have quitted that incomprehensible tribe.
