DIFFICULTIES ABOUT CAMELS.

on*the fact, that we were unable to procure sufficient 
camels at Trijjoli to convey our goods all the way to 
Mourzuk. We were compelled to leave three 
camel-loads behind, in the first place, at Gharian ; 
these were subsequently got on to Kaleebah, and 
thence to Mizdah : but there the influence of Izhet 
Pasha's circular letter entirely failed to procure for 
us three extra camels, and we were compelled to push 
on to Mourzuk, leaving part of our goods in the 
oasis. This circumstance caused me a great deal of 
annoyance, both on the route and after our arrival, for 
it was a long time before we got in all our baggage. 
However, it at last arrived, and the delay only 
served to illustrate the difficulty of procuring con- 
veyance in these dismal countries, and to lead us 
into considerable expense.
