Proceeding towards the woods we noticed a number of paths.
Nearly all of these were followed and their direction learned.
One path led to a spring.  Close to this spring is the wide
cut through the woods made by the Boulevard Co.
After spending a little time thus investigating we started
for the camp, which we soon reached.  We at once <s>st</s> made
a fire.  While the soup was warming <s>up</s>, I made a little
trip in search of plants, finding several specimens of mosses and
liverworts -- Pine-tree Moss (Climacium), the fern-like moss in
fruit, another with apparently similar fruit yet otherwise very different.
When I returned we ate dinner.  While eating dinner, we 
were suddenly surprised by the approach of two wood-cutters.
They apparently did not see us; they approached within 100 yds [yards]
<s>of</s> from us and began cutting at a fallen tree, when suddenly they noticed our fire.  They had made but one or two cuts, now
without a word they stopped at once, faced about and silently
and quickly left the place.  In a few moments they had
disappeared.  After dinner we decorated our place with a
number of large bones found a short distance in the wood.
Our fire was then stacked up with a lot of wet wood,
