I  was  very  uneasy  about  him.  The  day  before  I  saw  the
drummer's  wife  eating  chupatties,  and  ask^  her  to  give  a  piece
to  the  child,  which  she  did.     I  now  saw  water  in  a  ravine.    The

descent  was  steep,  and  our  only  drinking-vessel  was  M 's

cap.  Our  horse  got  water,  and  I  bathed  my  neck.  I  had  no
stockings,  and  my  feet  were  torn  and  blistered.  Two  peasants
came  in  sight,  and  we  were  frightened  and  rode    off.    The

sergeant  held  our  horse,  and  M put  me  up  and  mounted.
I  think  he  must  have  got  suddenly  faint,  for  I  fell  and  he  over
me,  on  the  road,  when  the  horse  started  off.  Some  time  before
he  said,  and  Barber,  too,  that  he  could  not  live  many  hours.
