"We may as well take it," said Sir Henry wearily; "all roads are alike here; we can only go on till we drop." Slowly, for a long, long while, we stumbled, utterly exhausted, along this new tunnel, Sir Henry now leading the way. Again I thought of abandoning that basket, but did not.

A whole day had passed away. Although I husbanded our water with the greatest care, I could not expect it to last beyond a second day.

The fever, however, had subsided, and he required less water than at first.
