After going to Tied at 2.5C this morning, it w as a tier to 
be awakened at seven with load calls for Dr. I'ann and the news 
that one of wolves had escaped , was on deck, and that a sailor 
was"keet)ing an eve on him". Bill hastily pulled on his pants 
and made for the animal quarters. There he found our Texas wolf 
looking rather lost, but completely uncaged. Bill said ^sleepily, 
"Hello Boy," and the wolf gave him a friendly glance, hear by was 
an empty crate, and Bill raised the door. The sailor made a step 
or two toward the wolf, who promptly started into the cage. Just on 
the doorstep he hesitated, Bill gave him a gentle kick in the. rear* 
and the wolf hopped in and the door was dropped. In five minutes 
Bill was back in bed and in ten he was asleep once more. 
At ten o'clock we left the ship with Dusky, and took^the 
ferry over to Kicteroi, a little town on the other side of the bay. 
Here we took a street-car or "Bondi" and rode through the ^residential 
district to the very end of the line, getting off at the q n stituto 
Vital Brazil, where we met young Dr. Huy V. Brazil, and watched 
the extraction of snake venom at the farm there. They hen a line 
big Bothrops that had never been "milked" before and put up quite

promptly went into convulsions and died - not from swallowing the 
poison but merely from having it. in contact with the lining of its

Back in town, we lunched at the Alba Mar restaurant in the 
municipal market, eating shrimps and hearts of palm and rice whn.e we 
watched the frigate birds and the airplanes diving ana soaring 
over the harbor. 
We sailed at five o'clock, and after dinner on board were 
glad to get to bed early for once.

Gao Paolo 
We came into the harbor before breakfast, and were met 
by Mr. Arthur G. Parsloe, the American Vice Consul. About ten 
we started off by automobile with Dr. Gray and the ohippens for 
Gao Paolo, fifty miles away. The first part of the drive was 
over a flat country road, ’but it was not long before we began 
the steep ascent of the mountain. The road winds back and forth 
in as steep a grade as I have ever seen, and in about nail an 
hour we were three thousand feet up, where we stopped .or a arinjc 
and to let the engine cool. A little rest house here, • -- 7 ^

At 12.50 we came into the town of Gao Paolo, ana at first 
thought this must be a special fiesta, but eventually realizeu that
