His medicine-chest was loaded, he had a special camel for it--and he has fired it off.

Night and day he has worked, never resting, never sleeping, curing most, burying a few.

He looks like a ghost now, but it's no use saying or doing anything.

He says: "Sink your own will; let it be subject to a higher, and you need take no thought." It's eating away his life and strength, but it has given us our return tickets, I guess.

They hang about him as if he was Moses in the wilderness smiting the rock.
