I noticed that the <s>wasp</s> hornet's head is <s>near</s> towards the bottom of the cell
in the bottom of the cells were these little brownish pellets, which
no doubt is the food.  We now continued our trip and soon
reached Camp Cozy.  Here a large fire was built.  After dinner 
the Yule log was put on.  Towards 3 o'clock I started off for
moss, the ground had now thawed sufficiently and in a little
while my basket was filled.  When I returned to the camp
I collected about a qt. of hickory nuts.  About 5 P.M. supper
was prepared.  Mr. W's cup which was as saturated with 
turpentine, and which he was about to throw away, was
now put into the fire, very soon it was blazing and before
long it was red hot.  We now allowed it to cool gradually.
There was now not the slightest trace of turpentine
odor.  The cup was soon filled with coffee, and was found
to do its duty as of old.  It was <s>not</s> becoming very
dark and the lamp had to be lit.  We enjoyed this
very much; sitting close to the fire, our lamp making it
light enough to read -  looking outside, into the woods
where it ws intirely [entirely] dark.  The morning was quite clear
