It was the venerable Ambassador from Sennaar who spoke, and who was smiling pleasantly upon the cheerful scene.
Cogia Achmet, believing he had made a sufficient proof to them that resistance on their part was unavailing, and the troops having suffered great distress by reason of the almost continual rains, after sweeping the villages of these people of all the population they could find in them, resumed his march for Sennaar.
In other words, this hypothesis identifies the Niger with the great western branch of the Nile, called the White River, which D'Anville traces from a source very far SS.W. to its junction with the Nile near Sennaar. He likewise accurately distinguishes this stream from the eastern branch, which is much shorter and of inferior magnitude, and which takes its rise in the mountains of Abyssinia.
"In Sennaar, a man is literally 'the master of the house. He isn't surrounded by what he does not understand; he is not obliged to talk book, and picture, when he knows nothing about these matters. He is not afraid of his parlor, and you feel instantly upon entering the house, the character of the master. Please, my dear Mr.
Seven days after our arrival in Sennaar I put in execution a resolution the state of my health obliged me to determine on, and demanded of the Pasha permission to return to Cairo. I represented to him, that all the critical operations of the campaign were now happily concluded, and crowned with the fullest success; and that, therefore, he could have no particular need of me any longer.
The people of the country he described as very harmless, and exceedingly anxious to know what had brought us to Sennaar to trouble them." Two of these Chiefs taken prisoners the Pasha ordered to be impaled in the market-place of Sennaar. They suffered this horrid death with great firmness.
But these shouts subsided on a nearer approach, on finding this once powerful city of Sennaar to be almost nothing but heaps of ruins, containing in some of its quarters some few hundreds of habitable but almost deserted houses. After the camp was pitched, and I had refreshed myself with a little food, I took a walk about the town.
Thus, the camels being dead, and the river impassable, no corn could be brought from Sennaar and Watmedene: there was a famine in Khartoum neither fodder for animals, nor food for man. We remained two months at Khartoum. During this time we were subjected to intense heat and constant dust-storms, attended with a general plague of boils.
But be proceeded no farther than Cairo: here he was seized with an illness, occasioned or aggravated by the delay in the caravans setting out for Sennaar, which proved fatal. Mr Lucas was the next person employed by the African Institution. In October, 1788, he arrived at Tripoli, from whence he set out with two shereefs for Fezzan, by the way of Mescerata.
I think it was very hard she wouldn't be amused by such a funny man; and he said at last aloud to her, meaning all of us to hear: "Well, Mrs. Gnu, upon my honor, it is no epicure to try to console you." She did laugh at this, however, and so did the others. "Have you ever been in Sennaar, Mr. Boosey?" said Kurz Pacha. "No; why?" "Why, I thought we might have learned English at the same school."
