I kept with the foremost men to cause them to halt occasionally until the stragglers came up.

Resuming our march after breakfast we followed the track of Mr.Back's party and encamped early as all of us were much fatigued, particularly Credit who, having today carried the men's tent, it being his turn so to do, was so exhausted that when he reached the encampment he was unable to stand.

The tripe de roche disagreed with this man and with Vaillant in consequence of which they were the first whose strength totally failed.

We had a small quantity of this weed in the evening and the rest of our supper was made up of scraps of roasted leather.

The distance walked today was six miles.
