My late oronautic fellOw uOyagers:
In compliance with nry promise to
forward you some account of our ex-
periences in the Buffalo after our
parting at Camp Birehard this morn
ing, now essay to write; only pre-
missing that on no former occasion
have l found our poverty stricken
English language SO inadequate to
express in a manner somewhat fitting
the description l would like to give
you. The only way to do SO without
floundering among an array of insane
exclamation points, is to maintain a
respectful and eloquent silence when
approaching any matter requiring
word painting.
Ineed hardly allude to the de-
parture from Camp Birehard at Ma
honing Station. OF course it was
sad, and to conceal my emotion l
threw over little sand, and turning

some proportion of them reached the

At lO:30 o'clock, or thereabouts,
we crossed the State line (which was
not dlscernible from our point of
view and approached the mountains
of Pennsylvania. Far ahead, like
"silver threads" CLEANED the arms
of the Allegheny, and soon Pitts
burgh was deserted, many miles on
our starboard. Several large towns
were passed, but we found some diff
fculty in locating them on our maps,

several lakes added to the scene since
that map was made. We were in
much doubt at times as to our loca-
