We were commanded to strip to the bare shirt - the usual ignomy to begin a
prison life with - and then we were shown our cell - a board to lie down on,
a blanket - and the heavy door was bolted on us.
Within the darkness of our cell, we now gave vent to our grief, each in
his own way.
Sleep is not a friend to prisoners, and so my mind naturally wandered back
to the old spot on the Eureka.

It is not the purpose of this book, to begin a lamentation about my four
long, long months in the gaol. My health was ruined for ever: if that be
a consolation to any one; let him enjoy it.
