Milk R. A very singular sight. Each family seemed to keep pretty much together on the road & there was often quite an interval between one party & the next. Men mostly riding. Women & children driving country carts. Mostly open, but some covered with hoods. Often paterfamilias & some other old masculine member of the family, then 5 or 6 Carts. No. 1 driven by materfamilias. No. 2. By sons wife, or eldest daughter. The rest very generally by children which frequently almost babies.
Lodge poles tied along side carts & projecting behind. A cloud of skirmishers consisting of dogs & loose ponies. The former not unfrequently hauling travailles & looking ludicrously helpless & timorous when rushed out upon by a pack of dogs from our camp. Men mostly ugly, long haired & rough looking, dressed in blue coats with brass buttons, or skin suits. Women hard looking & soon wrinkled, wearing calico dresses of dark colours & with a turban of similar material wound round the head.
