Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Travels: A Record of Discovery, Geography and Adventure In spite of all our endeavours to hasten matters, our actual departure from Superior did not take place until past mid day. First of all one of the Canadians who was to have accompanied us discovered that he could not go, and it was necessary to find somebody else to serve in his place. Then Lefevre brought forward several good reasons why we should not start until next day, and young Cote, whom we finally engaged as our second voyageur, supported him strongly; one of their principal arguments being that they had no mocassins ready. As, however, we had been forewarned that it would be difficult to screw them up to the starting point, and that, if given way to on one day, they would be just as bad the next, we stuck to our text and determined, come what might, to get under weigh. So, after advancing money to purchase the deficient mocassins, and hunting Lefevre once or twice out of the bar of a drinking store where he had taken refuge, we managed to effect a start.

Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrated Travels, Vol. 1: A Record of Discovery, Geography and Adventure; With Engravings From Original Drawings The Government of Massawa and the neighbouring main land has been, since the days of Sultan Selim, in the hands of the Turks, with the exception of a few years, dttring which the late Mohammed Ali, of Egypt, ruled over the Pashalic of the Hedjaz, of which Massawa, with, theoretically, all Abyssinia, is a dependency. But their rule was for centuries passive rather than active, and the real power lay in the hands of the N ai'bs of Harkeeko, a family of T igre origin, whose tyrannical exac tions, which used to place such obstacles in the way of travellers to Abyssinia, must be fresh in the memory of every reader of Bruce and Salt. But those days are long since past, and they are now a very harmless and easy-going set of people, whose principal function appears to be the collection of tribute from the surrounding Bedaween. Harkeeko, or Dobouo, as the Abyssinians call it, is a village some few miles towards the southern extremity of the bay, and bears all the appearances of having once seen better days. The Naib's house is the only decent one in the place, and as the landing is so bad that, to avoid getting wet, it is necessary to be carried at least a hundred yards from the boat to the shore, it seems destined to be blotted out altogether from the map in a few years, espe cially as the Egyptians, who have again taken over the govern ment of Massawa, are likely to restrict the powers of the Nai'b more than ever.
