[[preprinted]] Tuesday 21 February 52nd Day Shrove Tuesday 313 Days to come [[/preprinted]] When I got up we were just passing Cape Corrientes. Took photo of sunrise behind it. There is a high mountain just back of it. Rounded Punta Solano, the Capt. having pointed out a bay south of this which would have made better harbor. Reached Ciudad [[Mertio ?]] ±3 pm.

[[preprinted]] Monday 27 March 86th Day 279 Days to come [[/preprinted]] Now in the land of wax palms, this part of the trip being caused by Swingle-Bomhard interest. My leg is so bad I know I can do little. There seem to be 2 palms all right, (1) with a dark, more slender stem & taller, (2) with a white, thicker stem & shorter. Got material of (2) but only photos of (1). Drove slowly along road to crest of Divide, where collecting was the best (54 nos there, 120 for the day).
