April 23, 1904# 
Left bower on Tubay River in early morning* Before we had poled 
a half-mile a tropical storm broke upon us with all its fury* The wind 
blew from the north, twisting branches from the trees and filling the a ir 
with flying branches and leaves* 
We sat as low as possible in the barotas, sometimes walking on the 
bank or wading against the current, which continually rose higher and 
soon from perfectly clear the water changed to muddy brown, ever rising 
higher, until before reaching Santiego we came to two impassable river 
mouths, both on the left bank of the Tubay* As always happens, the 
hurricane turned about and came back to us from the South, rain pour i ng 
down in deluges# Tieing our barotas to the bank we sought the she! lor of 
a native house for protection from the cold and force of the rain which 
pelted like hail; but our combined weight crushed the supports of the 
light dwelling of bamboo, matting and thatch, so that it crashed to tho 
ground; but we still had the steep roof over us and found even an improved 
shelter# From natives in barotas we purchased a big dimijon of bins 
which enheartened our boatmen# This must have been the fiercest part of 
the storm, for the sky was black and the air filled with flying twigs and 
limbs that twitted along like birds#
