Description
Excerpt from Mary of Magdala
The caravan was made up of five and twenty camels. At the head of the caravan rode two men on ?eet? Footed camels. That the riders were men of strength and courage was in every line of their dark faces. Each rider had a sword at his side and a spear in his hand, and they kept a constant watch for unfriendly'' travelers. Next in line came a white dromedary rich ly bedecked. The shimmering cloth which covered the beast of burden bulged on either side of the ani mal in front of the rider; and when the beast made an unusual movement, there was a sound of precious metal. The bags contained the Shekels gained by'' trade in Jerusalem. The rider, like the two that rode in advance, was alert and his hand rested lightly on a Damascus sword. Next came two other riders ~1 equipped like the first two, and they were equally as eager as their companions to protect their master. Following these two came twenty camels, one chained to the other and in charge of four cameleers.
