  mc_mcnv_camelgraf1.jpg - At the first sump we came to along this branch, we saw this chiselled picture of a camel, if you look closely, there is a person leading it with a turban and a figure riding it. Underneath it, is the name of a single humped camel 'Dromedary'. It looks like this was done by H. Spott in 1794. Around the camel is also a sort of cross hatching which looks like it could be depicting hills or mountains. Where a mine worker would have seen a camel leads to some speculation, a zoo, in a book, or possibly he may have been involved in some military campaign in Africa or the Middle East?
