The rough and varied exercise which they had been compelled to take since starting in the morning  climbing trees, and skulking through pathless jungles  combined with the varied emotions which their repeated perils had called up  all had a tendency to produce thirst; and thirst they now felt in an extreme degree. It was not lessened by the sight of the water shining beneath them.
