"When the nature of the ground is such as to prevent wheel carriages 
from proceeding further, and when in extended operations it appears 
desirable that the batteries should be accompanied by four days* rations 
and spare stores, the wagons are to be placed in deposit at some convenient 
place, and saddled pack mules are to be used for the transport of the 
articles above mentioned. 
Lor this purpose, in the first instance the four draft horses or mules 
are to be made use of, the pack saddles and other bat necessaries being 
demanded from the brigade ammunition park. 
The other mules required are to be obtained in the country, or are to be 
pressed into the service. Tor a 8-pr. mountain battery the extra mules 
required are seven in number. 
The packing of these mules is shown in the following table :—•
