A camel ambulance

p [91], line, Roberts, 72 x 108 mm

Signature, 'William Roberts', brc. Four camels and seven men, including one riding and one being lifted onto a camel.

p [416] [tr ed p 433] - 'There, also, we bandaged up Fahad, who was sleepy with the lassitude of his severe hurt. Adhub, seeing this, took one of Matar's new carpets, and, doubling it across the camel-saddle, stitched the ends into great pockets. In one they laid Fahad, while Adhub crawled into the other as make-weight: and the camel was led off southwards towards their tribal tents.'
