Our direction to the bridge was north 70° west,
thence south 70° east. At 7-50 came to the foot
of a very steep ascent, still in the same direction,
the road not winding much ; the Ascent occupied
45 minutes.
At 8-35 a.m. reached the top of the col, and
almost immediately began to descend. At 9 a m.
reached the foot of the pass called (iaran and
halted. (The pass of Ardababa to lianah is
easier.)
At 10-35 we mounted again. Koad south 70°
east; at 11 a.m. 20° east. At 11-45 am. we
came to a little river called Kakor Zeikiia, which
falls into the Diala.
Hence north 70° east; at 12-15 p m. north 50°
east. At 12-55 p m. we struck out of the high
road up a narrow valley, and at 1p.m. arrived
at Jenawara.
Started at 5-30 a m. and proceeded south 50° east
till we reached the road in half an hour.
The general direction of road south 80° east.
At 6-50 a.m. passed an artificial mount in a
narrow valley. After having ascended almost
all the way from Jenawara, we descended about a
quarter of an hour and arrived at the foot of the
descent at 8 a.m.
Immediately rose again by a very steep ascent,
of whic > we attained ti e summit at 8-30 a.m.
The descent was inconsiderable. At 9-10 a.m.
arrived at Barodar in a narrow valley.
Off at 5-30 a.m., and soon after leaving the
village crossed a pretty high hill. Our road all
the day wound through very narrow valleys
among the hills, through which ran a little
stream whose course was easterly. At 8 a.m.
we halted, and at 8-40 proceeded on again, and
at 9-40 a.m. arrived at the village of Dowizah.
Sehna bears south 10° east of Dowizah, and is
distant about 12 or 13 miles. The country is
more open. The plain as we approached Sehna
descended to it- Behind the town it again rose,
and after several breaks and hills, terminated in
the high ridge of the Bazir Khain hills running
noith and south.
