During our stay opposite Halfya, the Nile, on thenight of the 23d, rose suddenly about two feet, and inundated some partsof the sandy flats where we were encamped; the water entering thetents of several, my own among others, and wetting my bed, arms, andbaggage. [46] It had risen a little shortly after the equinox, while thearmy was in Berber, and afterwards subsided more than it had risen. We find the sky every day more and more overcast; distant thunder andlightning, accompanied with violent ...squalls, (which have overset my tenttwice, ) are, within a few days, frequent, and drops of rain have fallenin our camp. On the 26th, at one hour after noon, we proceeded to the Bahar el Abiud, about five hours march above our present position, where the Pashaintends to cross into the territory of Sennaar. The camp arrived atsunset at a position a little above where the Nile falls into the Baharel Abiud, and stopped. Immediately on my arrival, I drank of this river, being, probably, the first man of Frank origin that ever tasted itswaters.
