General Account
Aboard the Eplerus III
current of the wet slope on a two
medled/small cord variety. (Botanical
specimen saved.) At the head of
the canyon which begins near
the light line is a large mine.
It is now abandoned some 20 to 40 years
but at one time it was a big
enterprise. Most of its hill slopes are
lunary combes with shafts & drifts.
Water which is soon to be found in
most of the canyons in good quantity
draining and liming. It was
a long ride for a saddle but
it was good fun and we did
certainly see the country. I am
tired that nevertheless I have to
stand watch on the bridge from
12 to 2:00 good night.
Incidentally we weighed anchor
about 4:30 and we now headed
for San Diego.
March 17 Today, that is this morning
and early afternoon was spent
steaming toward San Diego. We
arrived there about 2:00. After
a long weight for customs
officials we went ashore. I
headed for a palm boat. Tally
with Marjorie to find out that
all was well. Job at Modern Co.
her fellow through Elizabeth
and Quentin and came down
