getting in his wood etc. My last class
has been a flesh getting into my, but
the worst of it is this occasional
threats of life with large arrow. The
first trouble was the day before I arrived
in camp when some gardener's two
men injured by falling timber for camp.
The trees situation was quieted with a
conjure spell a tree. Then yesterday the
camp after being annoyed for some time
by a paperboy tried to get rid of
him and finally did so in the latter
unforgettable way of pushing him off the
platform. The paperman rushed out of
camp and returned with two
arrows. His arrow was captured by Daniel
and its target who found the method
to cover and parted his sorcery with a
sufficient quantity of sleep.
Later in the day the guard was
instructed to clean the camp sometime for
the night. This was done in the
rather rough manner of just
moneyping them off by force. The
result was that one of their party
returned with bow and arrow. The affair
was soon turned into a joke and
the affair passed over. Today
Cory and it rather time my two
collecting boys were threatened by a
native to stay passed from their home.
There was no harm done but it was
a rather unpleasant situation. The natives
which did the threatening this afternoon
acted as my guide. Hope that he may
do more generally tomorrow.
