SLEEP IN THE DESERT.
imPossibility Of Keeping Awake In
Riding Across Cobb.

Hitherto l have thought that travel
ing by carts over stony roads and stay.
ing in Chinese inns at night was the
hardest thing a foreigner travelling in
China was called upon to endure. but
since l have travelled with a caravan
of camels have changed my opinion
The monOtony of the desert by day
and the bed Of camel's saddle at night
the evil smell of camels and the slow
ness of their drivers and the acrid
choking of the lite fire on which ones
food is cooked-none of these things is
SO trying to the foreigners as the sleep
mess which attacks one in this high
region. This to me was a real torture
Travelling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
to sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness is the worst thing l have
endured.
You sit on your horse and in spite OF
every effort. fall asleep. Presently you
wake up and find yourself on the
ground. with your horse standing be.
wildered at your side. wondering
whether you are alive or dead. Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking bit to the camel
drivers, but you soon find that they
are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
words are exchanged, and then you
talk or even to think Of anything but
sleep, sweet sleep. Oh, for just a few
minutes there at the roadside in the
soft sand! But, no; you must go on
and fight against this desire. It is too
dangerous TO sleep by the roadside on
the ground. The caravan cannot wait
anC your servant would not watch
over you He would soon fall asleep
like yourself. The wolves would then
have an easy time.
Yet in spite of all this reasoning YOU
feel as If you Were drawn to the
ground by the power of a thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleep
again. Suddenly your watchful horse.

around your neck-this is wise thing
to do-pulls up. starts and jerks you

You jump on your horse and catch up
