II2 AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. V.
dried beans, which Mr. Clarke gave me, and
lastly some Chinese oatmeal. All these luxuries
added very little to the total amount of baggage,
and even if they had made an extra camel-load,
it would not have hindered the journey in any
way, while they added very considerably to my
efficiency.
A tent was made up in the town on what is
known in India as the Kabul pattern ; but, as
it afterwards turned out, this was, for travelling
in the desert, about the very worst description
of tent possible. The violent winds, so constant
there, catch the walls and make it almost im-
possible to keep the tent standing. What I
would recommend for future travellers is a tent
like my guide's sloping down to the ground at
the ends as well as on each side, and with no
straight wall to catch the wind.
Rather unusual articles of equipment were
two water-casks which we filled with water
daily on the march, so that if, as sometimes
happened, we lost our way and missed the well,
or found it choked with sand, we should always
have something to fall back on.
This completed our preparations, and we
were ready for the real start into the unknown.
