We went to this and found some small water holes.

No water ran from them they were so small.

Here we staid all night.

It did not seem very far to the snowy peak to the north of us.

Just where we were seemed the lowest pass, for to the south were higher peaks and the rocks looked as if they were too steep to be got over.
Through this gap came a cold breeze, and we had to look round to get a sheltered place in which to sleep.
