Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 24 November 1909
[See Introduction to The Vision and the Voice for background information] [Map of Crowley's travel through Algeria]
Left Aumale [Modern-day Sour El Ghozlane] 8:30 uphill to the watershed, then down to valley and plain. The desolation increases, even becomes impressive. Lunch 12:15. Arr[ived] Sidi-Aïssa 5:10 going strong. Hôtel des Messageries. Here is milk in the afternoon, for the first time. hitherto it has been not at all, or only in the morning; since Arba.
Sidi-Aïssa is say 115 km from Arba [thus] we have averaged 25 km = 20 miles daily, including the day's rest at Aumale.
