Chapter XXXV
WE GO OUT We made our way out of the hills without adventure worth noting. The road was muddy, and a good deal washed. In fact, we had occasionally to do considerable manoeuvring to find a way at all around the landslides from the hills above. As we descended we came upon traces of the great exodus that was taking place from the hills. All the miners were moving out.
