Jan 24 1927 Continued their were two eyes shining at me and I moved a little it went to top of tree then looked down at me then I shot it it being no 12 400. Still I did not follow the way out of bush & marsh so kept on try every trail that was well beaten and finally I came to a road that had a rock wall along it and a large pasture on one side here I saw no 12 401 eyes shining out in pasture but if ran toward rock wall and then stopped and looked at me again then I shot it. Well wasnt sure where I was at yet so followed trail and it crossed the river didn't see any use of crossing so took a cow trail & through bush once more and wandered about for a long time but finally came out in a road about three miles from where I started and my light commenced to go out but the moon had risen and it made fairly good light. Had come quite a distance and had found another road and had only followed it a short distance when a rustling noise was made beside the trail and upon the side of trail & tree no 12 394 was shot
