and that this discovery had excited a bloody con-
flict among them, which continued three days.
Following the course of the Nile from Alguan,
we sailed first east-north-east for a quarter of a
league, then north, and lastly north by west, till
we reached Kafr Demschi, a village on the eastern
shore, a league from Alguan. Between these is
Kafr Gezie. Half a league lower, during which
the river runs north-north-west, is Tenesur, a vil-
lage much better built than those I have just
mentioned, and at a little distance from the Nile.
Opposite to this village is Aboul-kaui. A bending
of half a league, running north-west by north,
carried us to Etrie, a deserted village on the west-
ern bank; opposite which, on the other side of
the river, is ZaAed el Begli, built a little way in-
land. A quarter of a league below Etrie is Kafr
Etrie; and between these two places is a large ca-
nal, which waters part of Bahire, and has a com-
munication with that of Alexandria.
The Nile then runs north-east by north. We
stopped at a large village below Kafr Etrie, built
a quarter of a league from the river, and called
Mischlami. We then went over to the western
side, and made our boat fast for the night at
Komscherick.
