Among the wider areas of wood- land, matter: were easier: but Wm here he had to take every possible precaution. and though he was able to walk upright and in the shade. he was conotanbly pausing to look round him and listen for any sound that might indicate the presence :1 a patrol.
All was deadly still. however. The hot windleas air broiuht no sound of any kind, and he went forward again, each time with the sensa- tion of having been reprieved for the momenlt.
It must have taken him a good two hours before he came 119011 the first indication of moisture un- derfoot that told him he was ap- proaching the coastal swamps. and he greeted the discovery with a heartfelt sigh of relief. However difficult. it was going to be among the mangroves, it could not be worse than the area he had already cov- ered. and alt least he would be able to relax something of his vigilance. He realised now that he would have been wiser to make for them in the first place. as his informant. had advised; but the hope of mak- ing quicker progress had decided him against it - to his cosit.
As the ground became more sort and marshy. the nature of the ve- getation changed completely. Casu- airina. acacia and wild rubber trees gave place to the first gnarled colu- mm: of old mangroves. and the rank fern-growth dwindled down and finally ceased altogether. Reeds. tussooks of coarse grass. and thick pads of moss grew in the spongy soil. and presently gireen scummy pools began to appear everywhere.
He made his best speed across this intermediate and coverless tract. where he could have been seen with fatal ease, and plung- ed in among the increasingly dense growth of mangroves. With each step the ground became more marshy. and presently ' he was wading inches deep in soft mud. covered. with a. carpet of grey-green moss. ,
The going became increasingly difficult as the mud deepened. but now he was well in among the many columned trees. he felt that he could move without circums- pection. and for the first time he ceased to look apprehensiveily a- bout hlm and made the best of his way towards the coast.
He was now in perpetual shade. for the crowded tree tops formed
dense. unbroken canopy for miles, but owing to the entire ab- sence of undergrowth, there was no difficulty in picking a way among the trunks. only the ground grew more and more dif- ficult under foot. and presently he was faced with the necessity of wading through narrow salt water creeks which wound in all directions.
Burdened with the heavy keg, it was no easy matter to keep his footing when negotiating these channels. for the banks were fre- quentliy steep and always slippery with ooze. and on one occasion he was compelled to wade back along one of these waterways for some considerable distance before he could find a place where he could scramble out of it.
It was well after mid-day when he caught his first glimpse of the sea and he lowered his bur- den into the mud at his feet and stared at it between the inter- vening tree trunks with longing eyes.
It lay blue and sparkling in the sunshine, with the little foam- caps fviecking its surface. A fresh south-easterly breeze was blow- ing outside, and even where he stood among the slime and ooze of an amphibian world. it. brought a tang of healthy air. The stagnant water of the winding channel he was Just about to cross was faint- ly stirring in sluggish response to impulses transmitted from its sea- ward end, and as he leaned wear- ily against a. moss-gii-own trunk he' felt a certain lightening of spirit and hope that the worst of the 'ordeal was over.
It was a premature hope and wholly without foundation, how- ever. for in many ways the worst was still to come.
Now that he was within sight of the sea. he turned northward

and began to follow the coastline; and there the real difficulty be- gan. for he found that the crash and channels fonaud an intricate mt-work among the mangrove: which kept him floundering in and out of the water the entire time. Frequently they were only separated by three or four yards of relatively dry land. and during the entire course of that hideous Journey he never once found him- self able to traverse fifty yards without encountering one of them. Time and seem he missed his footing through sheer wearlness and came down heavily. and though the soft mud prevented him from injuring himself. he be- come no plastered with it as to be almost unrecognizable.
It was useless to think of edging further inland to avoid the worst of these obstacles. for only by keeping the coast in sight could he be sure that he was heading in the right direction. In the be- wildering maze of oreellna and mangroves, it would have been fatally easy to wander round in circles without knowing it. and in this eternal shadow it was imposs- ible to take bearings by the sun even if he knew the time within an hour or so.
It was equally impossible to gauge distance, and though the dying man had stated that the boat lay five or six kilometres north of the spot where he had struck the coast, it was unlikely that he had any real conception of the distance he had covered. It could only be estimated in terms of time taken - and he had had no means of determining that.
