together after breakfast to walk, and 0 should
follow in a single carriole, and, when he
overtakes them, A or B mounts the carriole, drives on,
orders a double carriole at next station, and then
walks forward. In this manner the walking and
driving may be equally divided if the carriole is
made to carry one person over one stage, and
two over the other. Or if only one always drives,
the walking for each will amount to two-thirds of
the whole distance covered. Or if two always
drive, only one-third of the journey will be done
on foot by each. In this case two single carrioles
should be taken in fairness to the horses, seeing
that the luggage of three persons has to be carried.
