THE JOURNEY IN THE WILDERNESS. 311
" You think lie will be gone quite away ? '' be
asked, upon their blest awakening- in safety.
" I pray God so, I believe so, I dare to believe so,''
^Mountain had replied almost with incoherence, as he
described the scene to me.
And indeed he was so much distempered that until
he met us, the next morning, he could scarce be certain
whether he had dreamed, or whether it was a fact, that
Secundra had thereupon turned directly ahout and
returned without a word upon their footprints, setting
his face for these wintry and hungry solitudes, along a
path whose every stage was mile-stoned with a muti-
lated corpse.
