February xv.
By break of day we set forward, and in one hour’s travel begin to mount the foot of Temnus, a low but large and difficult mountain, and at the same place cross the first branch of the Caicus, not far from its fountain. We pass the rest of this day thro a stony road on the Temnus, and upon the same mountain six hours from our conáck lodge at the unpleasant Kurugelchíck; where we were joined by two Turks, Mustaphá and Chalíl, who accompanied us to Adrianople.
