Camel Sleeping Cages On Desert Camel Trains
The passage humorously describes camel cradles used to sleep while riding from Khiva to the Caspian. Travelers climb into narrow wooden crates hung beside the camel’s hump, wrapped in clothes and fur, then endure their rocking motion as the camel advances. The narrator compares the cradle to a bottle being vigorously shaken and to a Russian tarantass when worn out.
