One of the lamps went out while we were walking, this awake. Although we
were able to light it again in a few seconds, we could not help thinking
how the Groles might have come if the other lamp hadn't been burning.
Doctor Dorn says our tiredness is so great because we eat so little of
the food. It is very hard to be careful when one remains so hungry; yet
not knowing how many days are before us in Black Passage makes the mind
fearful and the will strong.
