burdened with a few pounds of food and the cover-
ing necessary to protect from freezing at night,
would be able to make not more than three or four
miles per day. Now, as we frequently had to travel
twenty miles a day to secure water, the shorter
march might be fatal. Of course, the immortal
principle of Micawber would doubtless keep a live
body moving as long as motion was possible, but I

away the long hours by talking about what we
should do when we should get out. When several
days had passed, and our poor ministrations to the
invalid leg were shown to be futile, there came—so
secret and complex are mental processes—a sort of
resignation to our inactivity, a sort of restful finality
concerning the impossiblity of walking out of our
trouble. As the days wore on we even tried to bar
the wearisome discussion of what to do if the men
came not back within the necessary limits of days,

rushlit hours that came peering at us, inquiring,

unto our death." Anginieur's leg and the Bible,
