The first ought to be the deepening of the channel in this particular part of the river. There would surely be no great difficulty in removing the obstructions caused by the rocks. But there are always political difficulties creeping up in this part of the world to prevent the carrying out of useful works. My siesta over, I was off again, soon after three P.M., on my way to Svenica.
I had no fancy for losing my possessions in this way, so altogether it seemed better to go on. When I started with the guide I had hired from Svenica, there was still a good half-hour before sunset.

The subject is worth mentioning at some length, because a good deal of confusion exists respecting this particular division of the great Slav family. Judging from what I saw of the inhabitants of Svenica, I think they have not progressed very far in the ways of civilisation.
I had a splendid view of the river, and stopped my horse more than once to watch the boatmen at their perilous work of shooting the rapids. Getting to Svenica soon after six o'clock, I made inquiries about the distance to Uibanya. No two people agreed, but the chief spokesman declared it was a couple of hours' walk, and he volunteered to show me the way.
The next morning very early I started for Svenica, a lovely ride along the Szechenyi road. I had been in the saddle from five to eleven A.M., and reaching Drenkova, I was not sorry to stop on account of the great heat. It has only a wretched inn, where myself and horse fared very badly.
My guide spoke a little German, and I demanded of him in a sharp tone what the other fellow meant by joining us. My guide answered that he was afraid to return alone, for that presently we should get into "the forest, where it would be as dark as a cave," and he had asked the other man to come with us from Svenica.
