Irving favored as with some instrumental

and at last we all joined Ia with our voices

Thus the first day of our sojourn togeth-

laughed Mclyorne, as we walked up the
gentle rise of ground until we could look
into the round we'll called the Devils
Punch Bowl. Here we could 90 no farther

spend Il climbing the mountain.
