Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Sword-carrying Arab nomads of the Sahara gather on the out skits of Timbuktu to buy livestock before setting out on the caravan routes. The setting is picturesque; but primitive and so are the facilities for visitors; says a Star writer who flew in with a load of ripe meat and stayed in a government lodge that resembled a Foreign Legion fort of the last century; complete with drill square.
