with getting our carts a few hundred
yards across a stately balanced
started down an incline into the
main valley. Then there was a
succession of marshes to cross
for the while Valley slope is quite
a sponge, we did not get started
till ten o'clock for some party here
had strayed during the night and
lost the game who to find them
we at last got in the rain and
had supper beside a tent and string
of carts loaded with goods. The
farmers were assured the remainder
of their breakfast secured that
they would sometime return,
The farmers surprised me by
calming that this was the Tarlebe
Run. Gibson had said that there
were plenty of ants at our destination
but here there were not signs of any.
The farmer said some work cattle
had tried down that the runyets had
all moved 10 miles away - it was a
disappointing place to come to for

had tried him the carts could not
cross the run or grow where the runyets
were.
