Lorries and cars go with lucerne and vegetable from
jahare to Kuwait, and out again with tea, sugar, and everything
required by the Bedouins, who camp at Jahara in the summer end
restock. Their couched o&iaels and waiting loads might be
mistaken by an uninstructed person for a "smugglers* caravan"
about to deper t.
