tobacco first. We were walking side BY
side. The pocket was found where g
stump was surrounded by sprouts. To.
bacco was found some 6 or 8 steps from
the pocket. The ground rises from where
the runs terminate in hollows. The
ground rises by gentle slopes.

other is nearer and not worse than Other
woods except the tree tops.
