but because I had not crawled more carefully to the summit of the ridge I found the animals trail until it was, and in the heavy forest. Also utterly disappointed it was encouraging to have seen a buck at so short a time, but I found no others during the morning; neither S. D. nor the young hunters had seen anything. Auntie managed herself around during the a.m. She went off with the young men to stay 2 or three days while I remained with S.D. at this camp. Aug 20 At 4 o'clock I was awakened by the patter of rain on the tent. It soon became a steady downpour and I turned over in my sleeping bag for another sleep, because there would be no hunting while the rain lasted. At 7 o'clock Chin who was cooking breakfast excitedly ran out to say that two rapids were mile half mile opposite camp. I got up rushed out to see countless sky but a doe & a fawn rapids just disappearing over the summit of the hill. Half an hour later they returned & I tried to stalk them but unsuccessfully. S.D. had seen them disappear in a patch of woods and at 10 o'clock we tried to drive them out. Instead a fine buck suddenly appeared down the red man and he killed it with one shot. It had begun to rain so earnest and we knew we were in for a day's storm.
