Description
English: The Special Correspondent's vehicle pulled by natives, 1850s.

1. The want of amiability evinced by the animals assigned to his vehicle combined with a frantic state of road. Compel our S.C. to employ human traction, a team of natives is therefore attached, and he progresses merrily.

2. Save at the change (of horses) a fierce contention ensuses, in order to avoid the shafts. The position to the rear being peculiarly fashionable to the smoking of hookahs, and the abstention from labor.

3. Minature bonfires created, provoke additional delay, and offord our S.C. the opportunity of exercising unlimited patience together with a lively hope his journey will be eventually resumed.

4. Delights himself surveying the goodly stores piled up before him, upon which he periodically makes a vigorous assault.
