text_original: They were stiff, at first, from passing the night in a sitting attitude; but it was not long before they were able to break into a trot. This they kept up for an hour then, to their great satisfaction, the forest abruptly ceased, and they saw, at a distance of about a mile and a half, the little town of Johore, lying in cultivated fields that extended to the edge of the forest. They broke into a walk, for a short distance; and then continued at their former pace, for they could not tell how close their pursuers might be behind them.
