Which way do you think we had better turn ?" "I should say to the left, my lord.

There is another caravan route from Metemmeh to Ambukol.

It cannot be more than fifteen miles to the west." "Do you know anything about it ?" "I have never been along there.

It is a shorter route than the one to Korti, but not so much used, I believe, because the wells cannot be relied upon." "Well, I feel sure we shall not be able to get at the wells on the other line, so we had better take that.

As we shall be fairly safe from pursuit, we may as well bear towards the northwest.
