In this episode of Kalaththulli, Kulasegaram Sanchayan focuses on John Ainsworth Horrocks, the first to employ camels as an aid to exploration. The bad-tempered beast by the name of Harry, accompanied Horrocks on an expedition north-west of Horrocks' station at Penwortham near Clare, SA. On 1 September 1846, Horrocks stopped near Lake Dutton to shoot a bird to add to his collection of specimens. In a bizarre accident, Harry shoots Horrocks.
