He was silent, looking straight before him into the moon-lit shimmer and white spectral hazes of the valley, his arms still round her. 'No! he burst out at last; 'not till I have satisfied myself. I feel it burning within me, like a command from God, to work out the problem, to make it clearer to myself and to others, he added deliberately. Her heart sank within her.
"But there's nothing but a cloud there, Joe." "Looks like it, sir, but land it is all the same." "Where away?" came in the skipper's hoarse voice. "Dead ahead, sir," replied the sailor, and Rodd steadied the glass again, bringing it to bear upon what looked more than ever like the faintest of faint hazes upon the surface of the distant sea.
Still this soldier held on, saying nothing to his men, writing his intensely practical diary, and trusting as a soldier should to the Deus ex machina who finally allows discipline to triumph. He looked down into the valley, piercing the shimmer of its hazes with his gentle blue eyes, looking to his chief, who had said, "In three days I will join you."

She sat for a few moments in silence, her eyes fixed on the far purple hazes of the desert. "Oh, I wish there weren't so many of me," she said at last and wistfully.
