Towards sundown we made the second bay, where we plunged into the sea, clothes and all, and were greatly refreshed.

I suppose a man absorbs a good deal that way.

Anyhow, it always seemed to help.
We were now pretty hungry, and, as we walked along the shore, we began to look for turtles or shellfish, or anything else that might come handy.

There was nothing.

Schwartz wanted to stop for a night's rest, but Denton and I knew better than that.
"Look here, Schwartz," said Denton, "you don't realise you're entered against time in this race--and that you're a damn fool to carry all that weight in your clothes." So we dragged along all night.
It was weird enough, I can tell you.
