From the Congo to the Niger and the Nile : an account of The German Central African expedition of 1910-1911 . r camels, this being about their most southerly limit. I triedto charter their animals for the rest of our journeyto Tchekna, as they are quicker, and carry ten timesas much as the oxen. But although they agreed, bothArabs and camels suddenly vanished. In the littlevillage of Derredja, we met Bagirmi natives for thefirst time, inplace of the usual Arab population.Here, too, we found some deep wells containing clearwater. At midnight, after a short three hours rest, we setoff by moonlight on the last stage of the journey toTchekna, and the twenty-five miles were accomplishedwithout a halt.
