Thurs,
O.A. 28
I was up at not far from
six, had my bath, a couple of
& crackers for breakfast and
then packed up and at eight
we started with 28 coolies and
3 ponies, "Bamfield" and I. Later
latter turns riding all the
day. All the forenoon we
rode through rolling country
and at noon stopped for
tiffin of sardines and crackers;
my first meal and it tasted
might good.
We had a long stretch of
rolling and more or less
cultivated country but
later in the afternoon it
began to get more wild
and rugged and our path
wound around the hillsides
through thick jungle.
Quite late Mrs. Clements and I
washed a head, and it was
dark 6.45 when we got to the
house at Wabago. The coolies
came a little later; we had a
dinner of salmon & crackers and
a dessert of Macintosh Toffees
