"O Mother!" he cried, "Pray for our deliverance, for I have lost the road." At that moment his lantern went out, and he gave a cry of despair, for he had nothing wherewith to relight it. "Fear not," cried the old woman, "but press on." So through the dark he urged his horse, seeing nothing and feeling more dead than alive; for he now knew that both he and his passenger must perish of the cold.
We arrived at the water about noon, and the remainder of the day afforded a grateful rest both to ourselves and to the horses. January 13.

In the rapidity of his movement, Gilbert had extinguished his candle; he prepared to relight it, when a hat flew by and struck his forehead with his wings.
