Here for the first time during the
entire journey except as already
noted of Cape Thomas Fl. Hubbard,

point the boys were clear, emphatic,
and unsuitable. They spent good

as the place where during his stay in

From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle of Jones

the sound, killing three bears at the
