Sun Oct 3^rd. We got up at 600 Had breakfast and packed For we are returning to tappi. Our audience was present – the first morning audience we have had – and I guess they realized it might be the last change to see a white man. But by the time we let it was mostly dispersed. The trip down was very pleasant and cool. We saw where the elephants had crossed but a heavy rain last night had blured them a bit. I took a photo of them in the misty morning light but they probably wont be very good. Later on One track was 8” across another one – the largest about 15 ½”. Later on I shot a new kind of fly catcher and a green pigeon to work on when we got in. At the town near tappi Hal and Mr. Taylor stopped and located a patient whom they ordered to come down. I pushed on however to get off my sore toe as soon as possible. After we got in I skinned the fly catcher and in the afternoon the pigeon, which was a devilish job as all pigeons are. However I got him done finally and in pretty good shape. In the meantime Hal worked over a Duiker skin hide which the boys had skinned in our absence leaving most of the meat on and then letting it dry near the fire. It was pretty miserable.
