As we advanced, the ground became more irregular andbroken, and we crossed several ravines, having each its small runningrivulet of crystal water. By-and-by the rounded hillocks acquireda more abrupt and steep appearance; the grass was no longer talland green, but fine and dry; the sycamore, the cedar, and largetimber-trees began to appear. As we approached Wochnee, our routewas a succession of ascents and descents more precipitous and veryfatiguing, as we trudged through deep ravines and climb...ed thealmost perpendicular sides of the first range of the Abyssinianmountains. At Wochnee we found no one to welcome us. The cameleers, havingunladen their camels, were going to depart, when a servant of oneof the officers sent to receive us by his Majesty arrived. He broughtus compliments from his master, who could not join us for a fewdays, as he was collecting bearers; he told us that we must proceedanother stage by the camels, as no bearers could be obtained in thedistrict of Wochnee. A serious altercation then took place betweenthe governor of Wochnee and the cameleers.
