The land of the Moors; a comprehensive description . eir feet, and being unprovided withwool like the varieties I encountered in high altitudesin Persia and elsewhere, they suffer much from is then given them once a week, and such im-portance is attached to their service that when on themarch with his army, the late sultan himself would bepresent to see that they got it. ^ The pad-like feet of the camel soon slip on moist ground, and if the leg of one with a load slips outwards, as it usually does, the camel cannot rise again, The Camel ^^^ ^^^ muscles are strained, so it is at once despatched with a knife that it may become lawful food. The flesh is not unpleasant—it seemed to me like somewhat tough beef—and the hump, mostly fat, is in great request. * In order to divide the carcass fairly, it is cut up in as many portions as there are ••?
