This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...take the practical form of an order for double rations. Although over-feeding at th.-end of an arduous march is prejudicial to the camel's well-being, the Soussi camelmen will raise no protest, for Nazarene generosity will be balanced by short commons for several nights after the termination of the engagement. If the European, in his anxiety to reward the poor camel, should not wisely content himself with giving out the order, but should further goad the lagging Arabs, who would rather give first attention to the mixing of their kous-kous or the filling of their pipes of kief, and even personally help minister to the recumbent objects of his compassion, he will learn strange things touching camel gratitude. Unaccustomed to the eccentricities of these outcasts at meal-times, he will, if no worse befall him, narrowly miss losing the fingers of one hand. It is to be hoped that the other may not have discarded the riding-whip. There is a homely use for it at this crisis. Those who know the camel only in Morocco will know it only as a beast of burden. Night after night it maj be their lot to camp in the waving plains that lie between the yellow walls of Marrakesh and the blue rollers of the ocean, and the camels will be tethered not half-a-dozen yards from their troubled pillow, their endless bickerings, alternated by quaint imprecations from their owners, disturbing broken dreams of the day's marches. Excessive carelessness on the part of those in charge may even lead to their entanglement with the pegs and ropes of the sleepingtent. Visions of the heavy centrepole coming down on unprotected heads are not conducive to sleep; but perhaps the luck may change later, and next night it may be the servant responsible for all the misery whose sleep is broken. So it is...
