We found it necessary to cross Eel River and, after getting the ferry man down, we decided to ford. Except for our getting a little wet there were no bad results. We ate our lunch on the other side, and after having a little sleep in the shade, we again started walking. That afternoon we did some professional walking, and we succeeded in reaching Camp Grant at five o'clock. As we were very hungry our supper tasted fine. I thought that I would sleep well that night but I was disappointed. I was the first to go to bed, and after feeling both pillows I took the softest one, and my partner was none the wiser. As soon as he got in bed the lamp was put out. W'e talked until about eleven o'clock, and then he fell asleep but I found it impossible. Our bed was not the best, but that did not seem to phase him as in five minutes he was snoring loudly. A REDWOOD SCENE NEAR ELINOR VVe awoke about half past five and after breakfast we took to the road again. VV e passed a cherry tree and for twenty-nve cents we got all the cherries we could eat, besides filling all of our pockets. Later, forgetting that my back pockets were filled with cherries, I sat down and the cherry stain did not leave till we reached the end of our journey. That afternoon it grew very hot, and as rattlesnakes were plentiful in that region, each of us carried a stick, and one of us always wanted to be in the middle of the road. However we met no snakes. We covered 26 miles that day and arrived at Garberville at 5 230 o'clock. Here we had supper and then played ball until dark. The bed I had that night was a little different from the one I had the previous night. As soon as I jumped in I nearly hit the Hoof, and I thought there was some one under the bed pushing me up and down. I managed to sleep a little, however, and felt rested in the morning.
