1927 Barra de Santiago, Dept., Ahuachapan, Salvador sundown [illegible] and there we stayed for the night on the salty beach sand not more than one hundred yards from the breakers. March 27, 1927 - We were on our way at three o'clock the next morning. just as faint streaks of gray began to show through the clouds back along the coast to the east we saw the thatched roofs of Barra de Santiago show up above the sand bank to our left. We had some coffee and sweet bread for breakfast. [illegible] we had all our equipment under a roof of cocoa nut palm leaves before the sun rose over the mangroves across the lagoon which we found to not be more than [illegible] fifty feet from our hut.
