Lander’s Travels

CHAPTER V
18/36

Leaving Koorkarany, they were joined by a young man, who was travelling to Fatteconda for salt, and as night set in, they reached Dooggi, a small village about three miles from Koorkarany.

There they purchased a bullock for six small stones of amber.
Early in the morning of the 18th December, they departed from Dooggi, joined by a party of Foulahs and others, in the evening arrived at a village called Buggil, and passed the night in a miserable hut, having no other bed than a bundle of corn stalks.

The wells are here dug with great ingenuity, and are very deep.

From Buggil they travelled along a dry, stony height, covered with mimosas, and descended into a deep valley, in which, pursuing their course, they came to a large village, where they intended to lodge.

Many of the natives were dressed in a thin French gauze, which they called _byqui_; this being a dress calculated to show the shape of their persons, was very fashionable among the women.
