One of us, bound by official daty's call had to go, and as we lay back in our long chairs under the verandah which leaked hideously every six inches of tis extent, and watched him, rain-coat-less, and umbrella-lens wading through mud and water down to the launch, we did not envy him his necessity, and breathed the hope that the service for which such self-sacrifice was loyally made would never prova unappreciative.
