That part Of the sandy and sultry Sa-
hara near Biskra has been the scene of n
tragedy which was caused by n want of
water Some time ago young soldier
named Irossard was sent from Il topo-
graphical station in Algeria TO BisKra
for yictuals. He was accompanied by
a mounted spahi and had two mules.
by a strange inudyertencc the little cara
van ran short of water after it had been in
the desert for n short time. Frossard &C
cordingly directed the spahi TO leave him
his horse, and to take the mules with him
to the nearest oasis for u supply Of the
necessary fluid.
The spahi journeyed on through the
scorching sands for u day and a night be
fore he came to the oasis of Gartha but
when returning to where he left prossnrd
he lost his bearings and had to go back to
the oasis There a small expedition was
fitted out by the local sheil, and after a
long search the dead body Of the young
soldier was found half devoured by hyenas
and jackals
The carcass of the spahi's horse was also
discovered not far away. 1t appears that
the soldier had killed the horse with his
sword and then drank its blood He had
likewise cut uut the animals lungs and
put them aside, but before he could use
them as food he was either surprised by
the beasts of tho desert or succumbed TO
tho intense heat coupled with return OF
thirst. Pal Mall Gazette.
