Nov. 14th . . . Suffered all night from a severe attack of asthma which obliged me to sit up in my bed. At the dawn of day I fell off to sleep and had rest for about an hour. I had serious thoughts of returning to the vessel, having suffered such extreme pain in the night and feeling very great oppression still in my chest. But after prayer for Divine guidance and for strength determined to start on my journey, as I rather feared remaining in Port Nicholson having felt considerable pain in my chest on my former stay there. We started at 9 in the morning and walked all day with slight intervals of rest, through a thick and hilly forest. I suffered much pain in my chest but did not feel tired and we arrived at a convenient resting place after having crossed 14 rivers at about 6 o'clock, when, my tent being pitched and having eaten some potatoes, I retired to rest. I seemed to be supported beyond my expectation all the way.
