We are ie be off for Santo Domingo, Del Palenque this 
evening, but it ts aoe nearly 9 and I am able to write at 
tf | 
MeQueen's table without fear of being disturbed by a call | 
oe ee We have had a good breakfast of eggs, beans, 
~ chocolate aud hard pread and the two Indian ae are 
off with their loads. 
Many pages of the note books and sketches omitted. 
Fepruary 5. Waiting fa on horseback on a trail from 
eeate Domingo to Palenque for the packers and Thompson and. 
Armour to come UD. Herman Collier is with me. Dense 
er Epes loaded with vines and dripping 
with rain are caught on every hand. The: trail at first 
open is now merely a path through the vegetation which en- 
croaches on every hand and envelops us, making it dark and 
lonesome. — Little animal life is seen save mosquitoes.
