100/127 Clark had tried angling in the shallows off the rocks and had secured one or two small fish. Rusty needles were rubbed bright on the rocks and clothes were mended and darned. A feeling of tiredness--due, I suppose, to reaction after the strain of the preceding days--overtook us, but the rising tide, coming farther up the beach than it had done on the day before, forced us to labour at the boats, which we hauled slowly to a higher ledge. We found it necessary to move our makeshift camp nearer the cliff. |
