The JOYS of Camel. Riding.

A London Telegraph correspondent
SAYS IN letter from the Soudap. A few
days ago had my first ride on a camel,
and thought it would be my last. 1t
was to go to our camp that got; cross
legged upon an Arab saddle, insecurely
fastened by strings upon the back of a
greats numbering, humpbacked brute. I
no sooner attempted to take my place on
the saddle than the camel, which was
lying prone, into which position he had
been forced, began grunting like an old
village pump violently worked. At the
same time he turned his prehensile lips
aside, grinning like bull dog, and
showed grinning row of teeth, which
he sought to close upon me. l got
aboard without accident, and had not
long to wait for rise The first move:
ment, as he lifted his, forelegs, nearly
sent me over backward the next, as he
straightened his hind legs, still more
nearly tipped me over his head. I had
been warmed to hold tight, but it was
only the clutch of desperation that saved
me. After several lunges and plunges,
the brute got fairly on his legs. The
reins consisted of rope round his neck
for steering, and a string fastened to a
ring thpust in his n6strils, to pull
up his head, and stop him when going
too fast, My camel began to move for
ward, and thereupon oscillated and see-
sawed as if seized with sea-sickness or
cramp in the stomach. Involuntary as
