The power of endurance of the camels introduce
ed into Texas was very severely tested during the
past summer, by Captain VIM. FL. Echels, of the
Typographical Engineers, who started with them
the latter part of June to make reconnaissance in
North Western Texas. The country through
which they had to travel was exceedingly rough,
rocky and billy, and destitute of water for long
distances. The grass was all dried up, SO that
there was no forage for the animals. III the wa
ter for the party, both men and beasts, had to be
carried on the backs of the camels and mules.
Some of the hills traversed we're so steep that the
camels had to resort to the feat Of walking on
their knees, to prevent their loads from falling.
No water was met with after leaving the river
Pecos bracksh stream, on the goth of June,
until the 4th of July, after journey of 1877 miles
through the barren and difficult country above
described. Owing to the supply of water falling
short, the camels did not have drop all this time
during six days; the mules were allowed none
after the LIST of July; and the men composing the
expedition were put on short allowance, and on
the morning of the last day there were but two
swallows of water for each man. All suffered
terribly from thirst. The strength of both men
and animals failed. Goods were abandoned be-
cause the animals could not carry them, and
some of the mules broke down entirely and we're
left in the rear, while several of the were
sick, and declared they must give up before they
roacneu the stream WHlcn saved the WnOle party
from the horrible fate which stared them in the
face.
Being warned of the consequences, however the
latter prevailed.
The animals would go to the water casks, draw
out the bungs with their teeth, and gnaw at the
bung holes. The mercury stood at 100 degrees
in the shade. The last day but the camels
beloved continually, owing probably to their suf-
ferings from thirst, still they bore the hardships
and fatigue of the terrible march we'll On the
day that water was discovered the camels mani
tested knowledge of the nearaess of water ten
miles before they reached it, by increasing their
speed SO that they had to be held back. The wa
ter reached was the head of San Francisco creek
at CamePs Hump mountain. The next day cam
els were sent back with water for the abandoned
mules One of the mules in camp died, and the
rest looked badly. Several of the men we're sick
1t appears, then, that the cames have fully vim
dicated their reputation for endurance and useful
ness in their new home. The mules, also, held out
remarkably we'll, but water dealt out to them
for two days after the camels got their last drink
at PecOs.
