This was on the 30th of August.

On Sunday, the 31st, there is no record in the diary, but the markers stand in his Prayer-book at the Psalms for the day and the Collect for the Sunday.

On the 3rd of September, Maidment was so much exhausted that he could not leave his bed till noon, and Gardiner never saw him again.

He must have died in the _Pioneer_ cavern, being unable to return.

The diary continues five days longer.
