(20) The night was cool &
Clear. I caught a new moon
a gray, long-tailed spiny
furrow-one. Also caught a
T. (illegible) during the day;
they apparently do not
move about during the night.
We broke camp at Yum-mung,
at 6:30 just as the sun was
rising. The road led thru
hills & along small valleys
filled with rice & corn fields
in about equal proportions.
The day was clear but had hot
a breeze blowing all day.
Yesterday when I was looking
a bunch of Chinese boys followed
the soldiers & about running
along laughing & thoughtless like
Caucasians of the same age very
different from the dull, indolent,
adult males, at mom me.
