A year passed __14__ he was free to begin his __15__. He was forty. He had never __16__ a camel. He spoke no Arabic. And he did not know how to __17__ himself by the stars. His friends thought he would soon __18__ such an impossible plan.

Moorhouse planned to begin his __25__ from the Atlantic coast of Africa, and ride through Mauritania, Mali, Algeria and Libya into Egypt, where he hoped to reach the River Nile.

If the game 10 continue, people who bought tickets are given “rain checks”. These are 11 tickets that will let them see a 12 game for free.
“Rain Check” now means a second 13 at something. Often ,a rain check has nothing to 14 with rain.
