182 AUSTRALIA AND THE AUSTRALIANS. 



It was a pleasant thing to be all together again 

 after such a chapter of accidents, and I am sure we all 

 felt truly thankful to the Giver of all good things that 

 our lives had been spared amidst such dangers. 



Having had some dinner, the horses were saddled, 

 and, some hours after dark, we reached our destination 

 in safety.
