See, yonder burns a fire, let us go to it, and await what may befall bravely, knowing that at least it can be naught but good." So they went to the rock and, darkness being come, sat themselves down by the fire, alongside of which lay wood for its replenishment, and near the wood soft robes of camel-hair to shield them from the cold.
These robes they put on with thankfulness, and, having fed the flame, bethought them of and opened the baskets which were given to them when they left the ship.

The first basket, that which Asti held, they found to contain food, cakes, dried meats and dates, as much as one woman could carry.

But the second, that which had been given to Tua, was otherwise provided, for in the mouth of it lay a lovely harp of ivory with golden strings, whereof the frame was fashioned to the shape of a woman.

Tua drew it out and looked at it by the light of the fire.
"It is my own harp," she said in an awed voice, "the harp that the Prince of Kesh, whom Rames slew, brought as a gift to me, to the notes of which I sang the Song of the Lovers but just before the giver died.
Yes, it is my own harp that I left in Thebes.

Say, now, Nurse, how came it here ?" "How came _we_ here ?" answered Asti shortly.
