Wadinoon or Wednoon, was the first place at which Adams had seen houses after he quitted Tudenny.

It is a small town, consisting of about forty houses and some tents.

The former are built chiefly of clay, intermixed with stone in some parts, and several of them have a story above the ground-floor.

The soil in the neighbourhood of the town was better cultivated than any he had yet seen in Africa, and appeared to produce plenty of corn and tobacco.

There were also date and fig trees in the vicinity, as well as a few grapes, apples, pears, and pomegranates.
