But she had not more than crossed the first small stream, made up of a number of springs, running through this wood toward the river, when something a most grotesque figure stepped out in her path! It was too absurd to really frighten her at first, for it apeared to be a boy dressed up as a bandit, and surely any such prank could mean nothing serious, she thought.
The Guide apeared to be a very friendly intelligent old man, Capt. C. is much pleased with him. Sufficent for all my party. one man brought me a tomahawk which we expected they had Stolen from a man of Capt Lewis's party, this man informed me he found the tomk in the grass near the place the man Slept.
I looked up at the door and William was standing there, with a very queer look on his face. 3 P. M. Mr. Schmidt is late and the Corps is practising, having now got to K. Luncheon was a great surprize, as at 12:45 a car apeared on the sky line and was reported by our Sentry as aproaching rapidly.

But I apeared not to notice him. "Well?" he said. I was silent. "Now look here," he went on, "I'm darned lucky to be here and not dead, young lady. And if you are going to make a fuss, I'm going away and join the Ambulance in France." "They'd better not let you drive a car if they care anything about it," I said, coldly. "That's it! Go to it! Give me the Devil, of course.
"I used to know something about that myself, in the Spanish war. Now let's see what I remember. Watch this. And somebody keep an eye on that hill and report if a blue calico dress is charging from the enemies' Trenches."
