* See Note, p. 36. 62 NARRATIVE. In this distressing dilemma, it was resolved to mix the remaining water with camels' urine. The allow- ance of this mixture to each camel was only about a quart for the whole ten days : each man was allow- ed not more than about half a pint a day. The Moors who had been in confinement at Tom- buctoo becoming every day weaker, three of them in the four following days lay down, unable to proceed. They were then placed upon the camels : but con- tinual exposure to ...the excessive heat of the sun, and the uneasy motion of the camels, soon rendered them unable to support themselves, and towards the end of the second day they made another attempt to pursue their journey on foot, but could not. The next morning at day break they were found dead on the sand, in the place where they had lain down at night, and were left behind without being buried. The next day another of them lay down ; and, like his late unfortunate companions, was left to perish : but on the following day one of the Moors determin- ed to remain behind, in the hope that he who had dropped the day before might still come up, and be able to follow the party : some provisions were left with him.
