chap, xvi BY SASSEN BAY 227 



our camping-place receded into the distance, but it did 

 recede. We hoped to round the delta of De Geer Valley 

 and reach the neighbourhood of Hyperite Hat, but Mr. 

 Jorgensen awaited us on the beach, and said there was too 

 much sea beyond the spit, and he was afraid for his boat. 

 Our tired arms blessed his fears. We pulled ashore, and 

 landed our camp close beside his.
