August 2nd

Saturday. Rain again. We have divided our party into three squads to do the camp work, cooking, cleaning dishes etc. Adams and Casement attended to it yesterday, Mr. Cushing and I today. Morse and McBride will do it tomorrow. We have cleaned things pretty well and will have things in much better order in future. Some of the boys helped at the chimney today and tonight a fire was made, but it smoked pretty badly.
