We soon found ourselves off the road again, and travelling blindly through the brush.

Coming to a round patch of clear sand, to which the trail on which we were seemed to have led us, we could find no way out.

Convinced that we were hopelessly lost, we camped out upon the sand for the night.

Fortunately we had a little corn with us which we gave to the horses, after which we tied them to the trees.

As we lay upon the sand in the bright moonlight, we could hear the dashing of the sea waves not far away.
