7' in plan. Some are made somewhat lighter. Each British officer

is entitled to 801b. weight of tent^ge/and 70lb. weight of personal 
baggage, but many prefer in the first ru^h of a campaign to double up 
two in a tent so as to get more baggage in and as the allowance for 
each servant (native), lOlbs is not anywhere nearly sufficient, this plan 
enables, sufficient to be be carried for the faithful retainer. In Moun¬

leather loops attached to chains 3 feet long, each mule is picketed by 
-.A 
a fore-foot and a hind-foot. The fore-foot chain is attached to an iron 
peg, the hind-foot chain is attached to a cotton picketing 2" rope led 
back to the hind picketing peg, also an iron peg. In these camps it

mules. This seems very little but was found ample and 
. nasty patches of. rock, stumps of trees, &c., could then be 
avoided by means of the margin of space gained.
