Wed
Nov. 10 I was up at 6:30 and stirred up
the boys and they came all the hurry
of packing up and getting off. Mrs.
Clemens insisted upon drying plants
and delayed packing. She and C. [illegible]
left with some of the cook's at about
8 but I waited until about 9.30 to
get someone carry his trunk. Had a
wait near the gorge for another
carly for the same thing. I found
some of his glassware by the way.
Early in the gorge I proceeded to
fall in the river and lose the
heel of my other shoe. Then it began
to rain. I stopped at the big rock,
where I can to have my "pepper
sand factory" for a little lunch
and again just before I left
the river I finished it. Had the
chink up to Lobang Rock in 9
down pears. Found the Clemens all
dry in bed while for the trunk I
blew in at about 2.45' wet, cold,
cross and tired. Got into dry
clothes, had dinner, songs by
the Clemens for the benefit of my
display of temper, a smoke and
and then lied on the ground.
