It took some self-denial, for I was ferociously hungry, to save a little for breakfast next morning.

Then I pulled heather and bracken and made myself a bed in the shelter of a rock which stood on a knoll above the stream.

My bed-chamber was well hidden, but at the same time, if anything should appear in the early dawn, it gave me a prospect.

With my waterproof I was perfectly warm, and, after smoking two pipes, I fell asleep.
My night's rest was broken.

First it was a fox which came and barked at my ear and woke me to a pitch-black night, with scarcely a star showing.
