Thus, the money spent in Somaliland itself for a six weeks’ trip should 
be in round numbers as follows :— 
Rupees. 
Purchase and sale of necessaries at coast, and cx- 
penses on trip ‘ x 550 
Purchase and sale of camels , ‘ . 200 
Pay of men of the caravan : ‘ ‘ . 6024 
Total 13524 say 1400 
Of this expenditure, part will occur when starting and part when 
breaking up the caravan at the close of the trip. The whole of this 
money should be placed in the charge of a native merchant or banker at 
Berbera, and any Somali follower may then be paid off either at the coast 
or in the interior by an order for the necessary sum, written on a scrap of 
paper. 
The above estimate gives over 900 Rs. a month without counting 
Kuropean tinned stores, European outfit and passages. 
EXAMPLE II 
We will assume that one European is going to travel for two months, 
purely for sport, in the Haud and the most accessible parts of Ogddén. 
The distance across the Haud by the usual road from Hargeisa to Milmil 
is covered in five and a half days, going two marches a day, and for all 
journeys going far into the Haud, or crossing to Ogddén, arrangements 
should be made for carrying at least seven days’ water. To the east of 
Milmil the Hand becomes much wider. From the experience of eight 
journeys across the Haud, I have found that a gallon per man per diem 
for all purposes is the proper allowance for a Somali who is on ordinary 
rations, a gallon and a half for a native of India, and two gallons for a
