They wear exceedingly long tails, precisely like those of horses, but made of fine twine and rubbed with red ochre and grease.

These are very convenient when they creep into their huts on hands and knees! In addition to the tails, they wear a large flap of tanned leather in front.

Should I ever visit that country again, I should take a great number of Freemasons' aprons for the women; these would be highly prized, and would create a perfect furore.
The day after my arrival in Latooka I was accommodated by the chief with a hut in a neat courtyard, beautifully clean and cemented with clay, ashes, and cow-dung.

Not patronizing the architectural advantages of a doorway two feet high, I pitched my large tent in the yard and stowed all my baggage in the hut.

All being arranged, I had a large Persian carpet spread upon the ground, and received the chief of Latooka in state.
