Most of the day spent in unpacking and arranging 
our things. Chapman and the three Carrs with Urich 
went off into the woods in the forenoon and set a number 
of traps. They saw a number of Trogons and heard Toucans 
and Motmots. After a while, one of the Carrs returned with 
the news that some men whom we had sent out to get palm 
leaves to thatch the hut where we are to do our work had 
started two deer. He took his gun and three or four dogs 
and started after them. For two hours or more we heard 
nothing of him or the dogs but after the others had re¬ 
turned and just as we were finishing dinner, the distant 
yelping of the dogs and th.e sound of a horn warned us that 
the game was coming our way. Instantly everything was 
in the greatest confusion. Mr. Albeit Carr begged for my 
gun and,picking up two shells loaded with no. 1 shot, 
dashed off through the cacao grove as fast as he could 
run. Chapman end another Carr followed him and negroes 
and Spaniards armed with guns, cutlasses and sticks 
appeared from every side and ran across the opening towards 
the river. Every now and then a dog yelped on the wooded 
ridge and presently two shots were fired in quick suc¬ 
cession by Chapman, who had a perfectly open shot at the 
deer at about 40 yards distance — as we afterwards learned. 
He wounded the animal severely and after running a few 
hundred yards it turned back towards the river and Albert 
Carr killed it with my gun or rather so nearly finished
