Desolations of Sahara. System of Living of our People. Various Tours through Central Africa. The Desert tenanted by harmless and Domesticated Animals. Horribly dreary Day's March. A Fall from my Camel. Well of Nijberten, and its delicious Water. Moral Character of the People of our Caravan. Well of Tăbăbothteen. Camel knocked up and killed. Mode of Killing Camels. Pretty Aspect of The Sahara.
The bushes springing out of the sand are but a couple of feet high, and their dark foliage is covered with crystallized salt. They are a stinted species of acacia. Nijberten is the first Touarghee name en route, and now we are fairly in the Ghat territory. On our right, a day's journey over some ranges of hills, are tents and flocks and inhabited districts.
Travellers are exempt from the ordinary religious ceremonies and festivals. This feast is usually kept up three days. A camel knocked up to-day, and unloaded this morning. After two hours and half, passed on the right the well of Tăbăbothteen. People say its water is still sweeter than that of Nijberten. Indeed, we shall find the Ghat water to be usually sweet and delicious.
Continued through the same kind of country, with an addition of a little sand here and there, for five hours, until we arrived at the well of Nijberten, to our great joy, for it is a well of deliciously sweet water. Around the well, I was pleased with the sight of several dark bushes scattered upon the small sand-hills. Anything in the shape of a tree now gladdens the heart.
