around the snout Of the treacherous
monster. moving, as stated above. at
the rate OF about five feet an hour.
We were again on the road with the
flow between us and Waichinu. This
branch was about fifty feet wide over

Yesterday we went bit farther to
the second branch. saw that II had
divided itself from the first branch

caused me delirium tremens was to
see everyone ut the first flow making
break for Waiohinu. Was | to be
