LAST MISSION TO AFRICA, 
123 
night. In the course of the afternoon Lawrence Cahill 
came up; but William Hall, who had gone into a ruined 
hut near the road, and who did not appear to be very sick, 
did not arrive. Suspected that he might be killed by the 
wolves in the hut during the night. At sun-set had all the 
asses properly tied near the tents ; and watched myself 
with the sentries all night, as the wolves kept constantly 
howling round us.
