across the lake some time ago. The other side was so precipitous they couldn't climb out but had to return unrested. One of them gave out on the return trip; with the help of an inflated tire tube the other three got him to shore and practically carried him up to the rim. Here he passed out and was unconscious for 7 hours. The mountain is less accessible now than before the 1902 eruption. Horses could be ridden to the top then, and there were trees much higher on the slopes. The lake is reputed to be bottomless, at least it is said that an attempt to sound it failed to reach the bottom! 
Natives often walk from Chateaubelair across the top of the mountain to Georgetown with fish for sale, to return the next day. This is comprehensible, but over that upper six miles of cinders they walk [[strikethrough]] fo [[/strikethough]] barefooted!

[[margin]] II-22-36 [[/margin]] Still feel rather sore and somewhat lazy. About all I accomplished was the starting to pack a box of cards, books, etc. to send home. Meant to start work on the motor, but didn't. Ruth bought a few more stamps from the house-boy. Spent the evening making a scale diagram of a quilt pattern for Ruth. It probably won't be overworked.

After tea Ruth and I walked up to Fort Charlotte, [[margin]] [[underline]] Photo # 79 [[/underline]] [[/margin]] about 2 miles, overlooking the harbour. We took a photograph of the bay (exp. 1/5 & 8), but it was too late to take anymore because [[strikethrough]] he [[/strikethough]] we had no tripod or other support.
[[margin]] II-24-36 [[/margin]] Hazell & Co. say that tomorrow will be soon enough to pack the motor, so I'll leave it till then. Ruth wanted some photos taken, so I [[margin]][[underline]] Photo # 80 [[/underline]] # 81, #82 # 83. [[/margin]] rode up to Fort Charlotte. I took one of the arched entrance to the Fort, and one of the causeway.
