Trenches were dug round the hut and tent, so that they must have had rain.

I should say Mr.Giles must have been camped here for two or three months at least.

We camped half a mile down the gully from the spring.

Mr.Gosse and Mr.Giles were within a few miles of each other at the same time, and did not meet.
17th.
Went for a walk to examine the cart-tracks; found two tracks going east and west.

This convinced me that the cart belonged to Mr.Gosse, who I knew had returned.
