MONSIEUR, At length we have reached Bember, situated at the foot of a steep, black, and scorched mountain. We are encamped in the dry bed of a considerable torrent, upon pebbles and burning sands, — a very furnace; and if a heavy shower had not fallen opportunely this morning, and I had not received from the mountains a seasonable supply of curdled milk, limes, and a fowl, I know not what would have become of your poor correspondent. But God be praised! the atmosphere is evidently cooler, my appetite is restored, my strength improved; and the first use I make of returning health is to resume my pen. You must now be made acquainted with new marches and fresh troubles. - [Previous: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.14) - [Next: 15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.15.2) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.15.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.15.1) · Pramāṇa
