CAMEL on BOARD SHIP DURING A STORM.
"An odd thing in camel driving is that
they must not be pushed. They will set
their own gait, moving slowly where the
road is unfavorable and making up lost
time OF their own volition on the good
stretches. The camel has one great ad-
vantage over q horse. He can live off
anything. like a goat. He browses on
every shrub and plant that grows, even
the thistle and the prickly pear. He
can also travel, in emergency, three,
four. even six or seven days without
water or food. 1t is his ugly looking
hump that enables him TO do this. Com
posed of gelatinous fat. the animal lives
off it by reabsorption. In the east the
condition OF a camel after long jour
ney is judged by the size of his hump.
1T is not uncommon 10 see camels
come il, after long and painful Jour
neys, with backs almost straight, their
humps having nearly disappeared.
was much surprised to learn that the
hump does not seem to be intimately
connected with the animals vitality.
Idnant Boy told me he had often opened
the humps when they became so large
from high feeding IS TO prevent the
saddle fitting properly, and taken out
large pieces of TAT without injUring the
animal or affecting his health. 1t is
generally supposed, too. that the camel
thrives better ia hot than in cold coun-
tries, but this Is not true. see no rea-
son why the camel should not do well
and be very useful in the climate of
Texas and on all of our southwestern
plains.
There is much 70 commend the cam

His only fault is stuboornness, but he is
not as bad rs the mule. He kneels to
Eet his load and viii carry all he can
rise with lie eats little more than the
horse. He is 50 patient that he will
march until completely exhausted, then
falling. never TO rise again.
As a resul- Of our two voyages. con
cludod the admiral, eve landed in Texas
seventv-ave camels. We had some very
rough weather at sea. and several ami
mails died. but we actually landed with
one more than we had started with. Ia
storms the animals kneeled on deck and
were iashed to spar. Our experiment
in Texas dill not turn out successfully.
One after another IF the animals died
