About midnight a mighty east ^nd began to blow,
so stzongly that we must lie upon our faces under the
lea of the chariots. Then the wind died away and we
heard tumult and shoutings, both from the camp of
Egypt, and from the camp of Israel beyond the cloud.
Next there came a shock as of earthquake, which threw
those of us who were standing to the ground, and by
a blood-red moon that now appeared we perceived
that all the army of Pharaoh was beginning to move
towards the sea.
'Whither go they?' I asked of the Prince who clung
to my arm.
'To doom, I think,' he answered, 'but to what doom
I do not know. '

After this we said no more, because we were too
much afraid.
Dawn came at last, showing the most awful sig^t
that was ever beheld by the eye of man.
