about one o'clock
Then having taken a draught of water , we continued our march , as we believed , to the east ; but the fog still hung over the country , and we were left in as much doubt as before . We soon found ourselves again on the pine-barren ; indeed , in spite of the prickly shrubs here and there , it afforded us better walking than any other part of the country . On and on we went , suffering almost as much as on the previous day from want of water . We halted about one o'clock to dine . Our bear 's flesh , even though roasted , was already high , and we feared that we should be unable to eat it for supper . We were able , however , to procure several wild-fruits and nuts , which , from the birds eating them , we knew to be wholesome , and these somewhat allayed our thirst . The fog continued all day , there not being a breath of wind to blow it off .
