August 14, 1896, Friday (continued) (which we did not then know of) and followed various deer paths as might happen to go towards the "face" but finally had to to shape our course by compass. About noon we had nearly reached the "face" and decided to return as we had no lunch with us. We bore more to the east in hopes of finding the regular trail. This we evidently did a little later and returned to camp in time to have dinner about 2.30 P. M. After dinner I stayed at about camp as my left knee was lame. Later in the P. M. we harnessed up the horses and drove towards Flagstaff for about three miles- stopped a few minutes at Hurricane Falls. August 15, 1896, Saturday Fair. Very wet with dew in early A. M. After breakfast I stayed about camp while the others went collecting along the intervalle. In the P. M. I went across the intervalle to Dead River but soon returned. August 16, 1896, Sunday Windy last evening and this morning. Very foggy in the valley this A. M. Had pickerel, fried sweet potatoes, irish potatoes, oatmeal, cocoa, etc., for breakfast. In A. M. the Fernalds and Professor Strong went to church and I stayed about camp. In P.M. we all hovered about camp. About 5.00 P. M. a very heavy shower accompanied by much wind passed over. We all had to take hold of the tent to prevent its blowing away- three of us outside and one inside. It came upon us so suddenly that we had no time to pick up a pile of driers and the last we saw of them they were sailing through the air one or two hundred feet above the ground in the direction of Dead River. We did not bother to chase them up. Rain fell most of the evening All of us were very wet below our rubber coats, and the tent was badly ripped in two or three places.
