User-Contributed Transcription 113every day, my wound sorer. my body weaker and my pains generally more severe. but was barely able to bear my weight. and by the time it was fairly light, Hedden had me on the way dragging me along over the sand. resting at every one hundred yds or less; the fore part of the day was cold & thick, but became fair at 9 or 10 oclock in forenoon. and very soon after noon the bright prevailing winds set in & continued during the day Although the beach was perfectly level and solid, yet it appeared as if our progress was slower than any previous day About noon we reached a stream of fresh water about 15 steps wide. breaking in through the sand hills, I was very much in need of drink. but this water was warm and tasted swampy.
