On the following day we were very busy packing up the rations, for I had arranged to send back the cart, gone on in advance.

We had eight months' provisions, besides general baggage, and I certainly experienced some difficulty in arranging how to carry such a tremendously heavy load, even with the aid of eighteen pack-horses, and a dozen natives who accompanied us.

I intended to start on the 16th, but one of the horses was missing, and, although Pierre and I tracked him for five miles, we were compelled to give up the search for that night, as darkness came on, and return to camp.

On the following day, however, we followed up the tracks, and caught the horse after a chase of twenty miles.

He had started on the return journey, and was only a mile from Yuin when we overtook him.
