6th September.—George Willis left us, Newland and Dyneley were 
both very unwell with flux,' the former, however, made a most ex- 
cellent rally. 
7th September Eayent to 5 TURN voy erage of Cepia Macdonald, to 
inspect my new guns, and on arriving after two hours’ riding in the 
most terrible heat I ever remember, found they were not ready. Dined 
at the Mess in Lisbon, which place I was very happy to leave in the 
evening. I started back with Newland, but about half-way I found I 
had forgotten some medicine I had undertaken to bring to Dyneley, 
and so was obliged to turn back, and then perform the journey alone; 
no very pleasant job, eight miles in the dark over a rough, stony, road 
in a foreign COU: the may unknown to me. I, however, arrived 
safely.
