From this day on, I added as awind-up, we meet as strangers; and turned to-wards the street. Chet took a boand from my side, with a velocityas of being shot away—it was for his hat, which hedrew far upon his eyes, and hastily returned. Lead on, he growled grufflv, and Bill led.

A cold,biting wind swept in from the north, and held us at adisadvantage, whilst we scrambled on towards theforlorn valley of the miserable Sydney Cove Eays of light were darting from out several tents, themajority, however, were silent and dark, most of theoccupants murmuringly huddled in groups aroundthe outside of a particular one; to this one Bill led,and we entered.
