He, too, had crossed Africa, but by a more southerly and much easier route than we. And the dark- est pages of his book were about that part of his trip between Abechir and El Obeid, wilere we had yet to go.

We towed one bike behind the other whenever it was at all possible and finally reached a little grass vil- lage called Hemmina, only fifteen miles from Abechir. It was almost dark,, We had just-enough gasoline to run one motorcycle the fifteen miles into town. Jim took that and started out, promising to send some gasoline back on a native's head for me or to bring it himself on a horse.
