N. B. This is the feftival of the Crofs in Egypt, when the inundation begins to abate. It rains no more in Abyffiniatill towards the beginning of No- vember, and then only for a few days ; but thefe are the rains Abyflinia cannot want for their latter crops, and it was for thefe the Agows prayed when we were at the fountains of the Nil* the 5th of November 1770..
