Excerpt from First Footsteps in East Africa, Vol. 2 of 2: Or an Exploration of Harar
I Now proceed to a description of unknown Harar.
The ancient capital of Hadiyah, called by the citizens "Harar Gay," by the Somal "Adari," by the Gallas "Adaray," and by the Arabs and ourselves "Harar," lies, according to my dead reckoning, 220 S. W. of, and 175 statute miles from, Zayla - 257 W. of, and 219 miles distant from, Berberah. This would place it in 9 20 N. lat., and 42 7' E. long. The thermometer showed an altitude of about 5,500 feet above the level of the sea.
