As we continued on our course, the landscape -- a level plain, that stretched away for miles till it met the horizon -- was covered with camels grazing upon tamarisk-bushes, which, with a few mangostans, an occasional specimen of acanthus, and a coarse and scanty herbage, were the only specimens of the vegetable kingdom that met our gaze.
