Taj And the Great Camel Trek (2009)
“‘Look.’ Mr Giles pulled Pearl to a halt. ‘The footprints of natives.’ Most people would be frightened of meeting strangers in the desert, and Jess Young had heard enough stories about black men spearing white men to sleep with his gun beside him every night. I tried not to worry for I had never seen Mr Giles frightened and he wasn’t frightened now.
My spirits rose. Where there were human tracks there was likely to be water. Mr Giles and I watched Alec climb a tree with Mr Giles’ field glass...es.
‘Well?’ Mr Giles shaded his eyes as he looked up at Alec scrambling down.
‘There is a sort of hollow in the ground to the south-west.’ Mr Giles was intent on seeing it straight away, but when we got there it was just another salt lake. ‘Look,’ I said, ‘here are tracks. Dogs have been here.’ I was not fond of wild dogs. They took baby camels before they could use their legs.
The tracks made me remember an attack near the Afghan well at Beltana Station.MoreLess
