-At 445 the alarm-clock dutifully went off, and half an hour later (after convincing themselves that that noise in Devil's Coachhouse was really only an owl, or spmething) three bodies emerged from their bags, ate a hearty breakfast a quarter of a billy of tea and five apricots) and pushed off.
-An ill-chosen adviser had assured them that they wouldn't get wet until the last stages of Harry's River, but needless to say by six o'clock number one had fallen offa plank, number two had slipped off a rock, and these two, with dispositions to suit the hour of the morning, had pushed in number three

-Despite care taken, number one's shorts were ripped by 7.30, number two's by 8 o'clock, and as number three spent the trip partially submerged in the water, the condition of her didn't really matter. By 8 o' clock, the three, having morn down to their underwear, found themselves sprinting with remarkable agility towards the nearest bush vhenever they so much as heard a bird whistle.
-All in all the trip was without much incident but was great fun. The Cox was reached before four, but owing to the advice"you'll just about run up to Carlon's Creek in half an hour" (given by another ill-chosen adviser), too much time was taken strolling along the Cox and the beginning of Breakfast Creek. Needless to say, by 5.30 they were searching high and low for Carlon's Creek.
