left a glorious after glow of gold and red: We did not need to light oil cancles until 8.30 and read for half an hour before went to sleep. Sat June 21 I woke at 5.9 in with a delightful sense of anticipation of what the day held in store for us. After breakfast of pancakes we rode out to examine our traps. Four warrents was, the bag and every trap had been either spring or held an animal. One me the warrenut had gnawed off his leg a gotten away. I never trouble found only a toe nail in another a patch of yellow fur. It is wonderful how the big warrents can work out if they got around a curve and the hole it is well nigh impossible to drag them out. We saw at least twenty little fellows while we were after traps, 9 caught, didn't three before they slipped into the hole. Chen Kang caught 3 hamsters, pretty open little fellows with a dark strip down the middle & blue grey back, 4 forward feet. Also itly had a mermies which is quite unlike the one we got at our last camp. After I had measured the small mam was my rd rode north east of our camp with the fanna. The sun was well up I'd had nothing to eat.
