river a little above the grid, and Benson saw what
may have been other tracks along the ocean while setting
traps along the beach when various pellets and seals
we have found several weasels, a house mouse,

Benson later collected. Left for Tacna 9:30 a.m. and spent all day
getting car Rodeo, money, etc. Returned 6:30. Distance from
