1-20.—Arrived at the well of Baugh. This is a single well of good
water on the roadside in a line between a small Imam on the SW.
and the highest point of Cape Baugh NE. The well appears very
old and the water is more then thirty feet from the surface.
Cape Baugh is a very remarkable scarped cliff, slate colour and red
alternating, fluted up and down with horizontal marks along it.
The second basin ceased half a mile beyond the well and the ground
again became rocky.
From this till 3 p. m. the range of rocks still remained on our right 5
