I don't mean to my, though, that we've Ifnd the devil out of our camels. Sometimes I lose patience with the brutes. "A couple of years ago I was travelIn* to the north of this with a train of four pack camels. One morning when I was packing I found that I had forgotten to stow away a billy can (brahman's teakettle). When I picked that little billy can up and made for the nearest camel, meaning to hang It on his pack, he began to double and groan, as If It wasn't his billy can, and he wasn't going to carry more than his hare, and what did I mean anyhow by proposing to overload a poor camel *? ?

Probably there will also be conflicting evidences on the question, but the common opinion now is that Henry Carey, who died ag in October, 1743, was the author. At any rate, Carey sang the song as his R. own composition at a dinner party In th Comhill, while shortly afterwards he da approached a publisher with the mann- un script.
