127 Fri. Oct 29 I was up at six and went to the river for my bath; We had our first rice and bacon for breakfast. I started out for Narring at about 7 leaving the Chaplain & Mrs. Blemens putting up plants. Bonfield walked with me, and carried my press; I saw many interesting things but collected almost nothing but ferns. I lunched along the way on my can of rice and bacon and did not see the blemens during the day, Bonfield and I got into Narring at about one and cleaned up the rest house and when the coulins came I found up the town, I packed my things, put my plants in press, wrote up my journal and a note to Bratterbery and had my dinner at 7. The blemens got back out in the dark and the men went out with lights for them; they got in at 8.15. I had any smoke after dinner and went to bed at about 9. Wabago to Narring 12 Miles
