ELEVENTH DAY.

Baker began his daily task on Friday morning et
four o'clock, and after walking five miles went to
the Cossack for near an hour: at a quarter before
eight he accompliihed 10# miles, and retired to
breakfast; at a quarter past eight he pursued his
journey, and at a little past twelve, including
stoppages, only completed 211, at which time
he again went to the Cossack, and stopped a
considerable length of time: he again continued till
five o'clock, and retired to tea, having walked but
30 miles; he went off again in a short time, and at
half-past seven o'clock finally concluded his day's
journey, accomplishing 36 miles and 216 rods. •
Baker, shortly after commencing his day's journey,
was again attacked with severe indisposition, pro.
ceeding from indisgestion, and was obliged to learn
the ground for some time : he proceeded again till
breakfast, labouring under escrutiating
During the morning in continuing his task, be was
seized with vomiting, &c. and was obliged to retire
to the Cossack fnr medical assistance. Baker was
frequently compelled to leave the ground during the
(lay, but, by the conclusion of his daily andertakinf
he appeared considerably recovered, (owing to the
times advised by Mr. Newson), and entertains an
opinion, that another night's rest will enable him to
proceeskAith his accustomed vigour. The molt
prott4y assistance has been rendered Baker by the
Gent en of the Committee, in providing every na-

asserW, nothing but bodily illness with prevent Baker
from accomplishing Iris arduous task ; as, although he
has taken medicine nearly every day since he com-
mencid his undertaking, he declares his health, in
other- respects, and the state of his legs and feet as
sound as at starting. Various reports have been in
circulation during the day, respecting Baker, but we
think le-morrow will set all things right. On re-
tiring to rest about trine o'clock, he appeared coasi.
dertbly recovered, and soon fell into a comfortable
dose.
