DOWN TO THE SEA 



For having completed another stage of the journey we 

 were exceedingly glad, but coupled with this fact there was 

 another, viz., that before us was a five-hundred-mile voyage 

 to be made in open canoes down an exposed sea-coast. Here 

 we would be surrounded by entirely new conditions and con- 

 fronted with new difficulties.
