CHARACTER OF KAILOUEES. 
This evening one of the Kailouees challenged me 
to have a run with him ; I accepted the challenge, 
and we ran a short distance, to the great amuse- 
ment of the people. 
Our guides are sociable companions enough. 
They pointed out to day on the sand the footsteps 
of the caravan which we met a few days ago goin^ 
to Ghat ; and likewise their own footsteps, left when 
they passed by that way a month and a half since.
