August 19th

This morning dawned bright and sunshiny and the river had fallen a foot or so during the night, so Posthumous and Jordans packed up and made ready to leave for river "C", going about 8 A.M. I took a long hike into the jungle back of camp, running into a swamp about two miles inside. Plenty of leeches.
