ABSTRACT
ALL this time I have not said a word as to oui' destination. Our original intention had been to go . to Zlarin Island, exactly opposite Sebenico. We were, however, strongly advised from every point of view to select a spot on the mainland, and that most recommended was Zablace, some two miles beyond Fort Nicolo. We reached the pier of the hamlet in due course, and then began a weary search for a camping-ground, the place being all either vineyards or rocks. At last, nearly a mile more to the southward, we found an abandoned vineyard, and in it a spot nearly free from rocks, which I judged to be large enough for our tent. It proved to be so with not six inches to spare. Then came another search, this time for a plaoe where the boat could approach near enough to land the gear. This we found a good hundred yards on-a longish way to have the things carried. At last it was done, but it was half-past five when all was finished.
