The owner of these dogs was rather an ano- malous being for an inhabitant of the Desert — a young Arab dandy ; his turban and robes were adjusted with the greatest neatness, his eyelids were stained with antimony, two or three rings graced each finger, and he con- versed with an air of the most amusing pup- pyism. In our excursion, we met Mr. Hamilton and his party. All were armed from head to foot ; he was accompanied by our Ethiopian servant Yacoot, a guide, and five of our Arab guard, all of... whom were mounted at his expense; the hire of each horse from Koote to Bag-dad being ten piastres ; the horses of the party were very small, and apparently ill calculated to sustain the fatigues of the journey ; but of high blood, and accustomed to go through it with ease. While waiting for our boat, I shot a crow, which our guard, after having roasted it by a WIND-liOUND. 115 fire they made in the jungle, ate; though the crow is forbidden by the Mahometan as well as the Levitical law. We returned on board at eight in the morn- ing, and tried to make way against a strong wind, which increased so much by ten o'clock, that our trackers, unable to proceed against it, were obliged to lay by till two in the afternoon, when the wind moderating, we continued our journey.
