Giringh by name, pointing northwards 16 to where, over forty miles away, we can just catch a glimpse of the Gulf of Aden. Let us try to realize where we are standing. If we 17 travel southward from Wagga or from Sheikh, we go downhill, but we find that the dried-up beds of the streams are sloping away from the sea. We have crossed the main water-parting of the country. The mountain ridges which we have scaled are merely the steep broken edges of a great highland block which falls gently south- ...wards to a broad plateau, without hills or streams, a monotony of stones, red earth, dust and dense thorn scrub. In the dry season we may travel for a week or ten days together and find not a drop of water. On the caravan routes are a few wells, such as we see here, but many of 18 these dry up. And we have to dig for a few mouthfuls of warm, dirty water in the liquid mud at the bottom. This is the Hand : it belongs partly to Britain, partly to Italy and partly to Abyssinia, though in such a country boundaries have little or no meaning ; they are merelv imaginary lines drawn from a few known points through the unexplored area.
