However, a short time ago, the people of Bornou, who were then at war with the Touaricks of Aheer, discovered the hiding places of the Touaricks' forage, carried off or destroyed the supplies, and reduced a large salt-caravan to the greatest extremities; hundreds of camels perished from hunger. These salt-caravans are sometimes a thousand and two thousand strong.
I have just received an account of the route of the salt-caravans from Tintalous to Bilma: From Tintalous to Asaughar Five days. " Fakramah One day. " Kāwār One day. " Boulouma One day. The mediate time occupied is said to be between eight and fourteen days. The three stations mentioned between Tintalous and Bilma have wells of water.
