THE JOURNEY OF THE BOATS TO YO 181 



next day, Grosling arrived at Masu late the same night, to 

 find that a change of horses he had arranged for had failed 

 him. While cantering along in the dark his pony went head 

 over heels, bursting both girths and nearly breaking his 

 collar-bone. The game little animal had done sixty miles 

 in the twenty-four hours. Maifoni was reached at 7 a.m. 

 on November 2.
