Seven miles an hour is the camel's best pace. Nor can it maintain this rate over two hours. lts usual speed is about five miles an hour- a slow, lounging pace, beyond which it is dangerous, with nine camels out of ten, to urge them, or else, as the Asiatics say, they "break their hearts," and literally die on the spot.
