We had worked fairly that morning, having marched ten miles from Sharga, then fought the rebels and run four miles in pursuit, and four miles on our return, through an exceedingly rough country. My old friends, Gimoro and Shooli, were delighted to see us again.
We were thus reduced to dried fish in the place of our lost mutton, for which we felt inclined to go into mourning. We marched well through the uninhabited wilderness of forest, high grass, and swamps, and arrived at the village of Sharga, ten miles from Fatiko, on August 1st, 1872.
