By the way one eats sugar cane by cutting off hard outside & chewing & sucking on inside & cane, then throwing away the fibrous part there is more cane underneath. Needless to say I fell asleep early because of no sleep last night. Rains. October 5 Became quite sick to my stomach at 3:15 had a hard time sleeping - had chills & then was too hot. I awoke this morning feeling great !! Never have been so mighty Gate. Boy, do I miss American food about now. When I get to Panama City I plan to spend at least ½ the time eating. Warm day - over cast, dark clouds. I hope it doesn't rain tonight because I don't want to stay up & get bats again. Wrote letters. Am weeks behind in correspondence. Tried to rest in the afternoon but it was too hot. On way to bat nets by river some Indians stopped us and gave us #681 in exchange for eggs again. They say they aren't common near the river where I was found. The people in town believed it to be the mother of the coral snake & very dangerous). Rain early in the morning so bats
