was the day it was created and
nota man in the crowd had a

had working bolos, but fortunate

had toclimb mountains wade and
swim rivers aad cut our way
through jungles. I was in good
health and stood the hiking part
of it very wellbut in going
through swampy places I got
covered with nasty slimy liches
which sucked blood all day and
kept me busy half the night get
ting them off my legs and body,
On the evening of the fifth day
we struck Tandag, and found
the three boats which were lost

was indeed a feast to us for we
had beenliving on sardines and
crackers for five days, which we
had brought along from the ship.
That night of course, as is the
custom with the native when a
man is in town, the Presidente
sent out and had all the pretty
girls come to meet the Tesorero,
and we had to davce notwith
standing the fact that were com
