11/20/1925 November 20, 1925 - Today we went out to our new camp but as the cart man wouldn't bring our trunks we [illegible] had to return to town for the night. Our host proposed that he and I go night hunting and I immediately accepted. We were equipped with carbide hunting lamps on our caps. We went out north of [illegible] Ciudad Barrios and followed a small creek off to the west. Most of the night we were tramping around through coffee fincas and sometimes in coarse ashl pineapple fields. As we were walking along the edge of a pineapple field near the creek, the light of my companion shined the eyes of a cat? which he shot. His shot wasn't successful for as we rushed up the animal plunged off into a dense thicket. Later while I was hunting through some coffee bushes I flashed an eye and in an other instant flashed two eyes. I fired and heard a body crash to the ground from the top of the coffee bush from which the eyes had been shining. When I came up I found an opossum (Didelphis mesamericana).
