Feb 10, 1927 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. Feb 11, 1927 I went up the mountain and looked at traps then took gone farther up in timber and set them traps that I had set held nothing after setting trap I hunted for a while but not seeing anything I came back to the house at 2 o'clock.
