SICKNESS FROM DELAY AND DISAPPOINTMENT.
On my return to the boats I found that Mr.Smith was still unwell; several other men were also complaining; I myself was wearied from exertion and disappointment that my great discovery had dwindled away: the place where we were was infested by land-crabs who kept running over us continually, and the sand which drifted before the wind got into the pores of the skin, and kept most of us in a constant state of painful irritation.

The night was therefore not a pleasant one.

Throughout the night the winds had howled loudly and the surf broke hoarsely upon the shore.

The grey dawn of morning brought no comfort with it: far out to seaward nothing but broken water could be seen, and half a gale of wind blew from the south by east.

The bad and insufficient food I had been compelled to eat had brought on violent sickness and other evil effects, and I found myself very ill.
