WHERE A PORTER EARNS HIS NAME: The hamal is said by the Arabs to be the human camel. Not only do the names sound alike, but each, if a heavy load is to be carried, must be loaded by other workers, and each, once loaded, can carry his burden for incredible distances. One of these human express-wagons, if asked to carry a much smaller burden in his hands or under his arm, will shrink from the effort. Click here to enlarge. (Photograph by Solita Solano, 1922) |
