In the evening they met a mounted countryman carrying maize to be ground at the mill, him they took along with them as guide. After that they travelled all night long, passing through Skeritora and Nyigsa, till they came to the cataract of Vidra, which they reached at dawn of day.

When the guide had mounted, the pandur sergeant observed to Szilard: "I fancy, your honour, that that rascal does not mean to return to Skeritora, but as soon as he is out of sight will turn back and give the alarm beforehand in all the districts on our line of march." "I fancy so too." "But then every suspected person will get wind of the whole affair and have time to bolt."
