I thought that Felisin, Baudin and Heboric were travelling at night across the island and resting in the hot days. Or was this just for the first night? Yet shortly after they come across the jade finger in the sand they set up camp and retire to the tents (otataral dust storm).
Then the confusing line, "Muscles aching, she crawled from the tent into the chill morning air" this was shortly before eating rationed breakfast then heading off.. In the morning? Am I missing something?
A few paragraphs later comes this line.. "True to Baudin’s prediction, there was no waterhole to mark the end of the night’s journey"
So they are journeying at night.. I dont get it. Chill morning air, night travel.
Is it suggesting they are leaving well into the night? After midnight? Hence morning air?
