On the night of Feb 9, 1927 R.A. Joe
Morales and two natives went up in mountains
for a hunt I did not go had fallen the
day before and hurt my hip so I did not
try to go as it was hurting quite a
bit. They hunted untill one o'clock
and getting a Potor no 12501 which
was killed in a tree by Joe Morales
and a opossum no 12500 which was
shot by one of the natives in a tree.
it was moon light and was very
hard to see eyes as the water on
the leaves on trees glistened shery
much like eyes with your light
shinning on them and the moon too.

farther up in timber and set them
traps that I had set held nothing

a while but not seeing anything
