People in England would hardly believe horses could go a hundred miles in a day, even if led a part of the distance. Another fifty miles will take us to Donald's. It is about twenty miles to the water hole where we camped, the first night; and that was about thirty miles from the station.

I don't think so either, but I don't want to run the risk, Jim; besides, I am sure neither of us can be trusted to keep watch.
