The common Egyptian camel is the two-humped Bactrian variety, called by the Arabs djemmel, and is much taller and stronger than the more graceful hadjim, or one-humped dromedary, which is only used to carry single riders on rapid journeys across the desert.
The chief breeders of the animal are the Ababdeh Bedoween, who share with the Bisharis the great Eastern wilderness south of Kenneh, and provide cattle for most of the caravans on both sides of the river.
These djemmel camels usually carry a load of six hundredweight, and, though fed for three-quarters of the year on nothing better than chopped straw and an occasional handful of beans, they are good for eighteen or twenty years' hard work.

During the summer of 1884 he was at Korosko, negotiating with the Ababdeh sheiks in view of an advance across the desert to Abu Hamed; and note how characteristically he has now bettered the then abandoned project by going that way to Berber and Khartoum himself – only with a railway!
The idea of the advance across the desert he took over from Lord Wolseley, and indeed from immemorial Arab caravans; and then, for his own stroke of insight and resolution amounting to genius, he turned a raid into an irresistible certain conquest, by superseding camels with the railway.
