our heads a starry ceiling framed in the doorway of our tent. The morning hunt was not very successful but on the summit of a mountain we saw three bark-less trees where a wasp had rubbed its horns. Also I discerned a patch of strawberries and the fruit was small but sweet as sugar. At 10 o'clock the two Mnyols who had spent the night on the other side finally returned, they were empty-handed but reported having seen & shot at a bear but without obtaining it. It is fortunate for the forest creatures that the Mnyols will not shoot unless an animal is standing still for it seems many a deer from its death. Every hunter has a rest for his gun fastened at the muzzle and without it he is lost. He will not shoot at any target unless he can raise his gun set up firmly in his knee behind it. No more easily as soon as the returned hunters had had their show and went on down the valley, at Cook no quiet so there was a little camp to pack the things up for and be on the move.
