Mh Nevada City Grass Valley Nugget, Feb. 17, 1949 Gow Diecer’s Frau Charles Scott Haley In four or five days we were ready to start, and pur tents and camp outfit, as well as the drill, were landed alongside the express steamer which was to be ‘our home for ten days or so. We were bound for a “small town called Buena Vista, on the main river, from whence we would take canoe up the Miel River, “which it was our first job to prospect. The Miel was a -sluggish tributary of the Magdalena which headed “wp in the central cordillera which separates the Cauca “Walley from the Magdalena: The Cauca has long been ‘a producer of gold, and this was the first time that : anyone had tested the opposite side of the range. After supervising the loading of our own stuff, “. noticed a little French Jesuit priest who seemed to be having difficulty in getting his stuff on the boat, -as he evidently spoke no Spanish, and the cargadores ~who were loading all passenger equipment could not umderstand him. 1 asked him’ if I-could be of assistance to him, and he replied in a torrent of grateful French that I could. I soon had him straightened out and his luggage am board, and was very pleased to find that his cabin was right between Mr. Knox's and my own. As Knox spoke French very well, although he knew little Spansh, we became well acquainted on the voyage, and ‘both of us enjoyed him very much. . have always made it a point to cultivate priests of this order when ravelling, because I have found,,them to be not only -among the best educated men that I have ever met, Dut also the most broad minded, and tolerant of all «other faiths. That afternoon we moved away from the dock <@nd turned our bows southward up river. The steamers cased at that time were sternwheel paddle boats of narrow. beam, with small cabins on the upper deck “gn which every bed was covered with a “tolda” of “mosquito netting. The forward part of the deck widwened into a ‘comedor” or dining room. The lower deck was used mostly for storing cord“wood, cargo, and for the kitchen and slaughtering ar-wangements. It was well, if you wished to appreciate your meals, not to visit the kitchen, because you were -apt to see a calf breathing his last alongside of the ‘evening's dessert pudding, and the sanitary conditions “were not such as to appeal to the fastidious_in any of -the cooking. : The boilers were wood fired, and every day a “stop had to be made to take on a load of cordwood. ‘This was contracted for at various points by the steamship company, and always seemed to be available just ms We were on the point of running out of the previous day's supply. Alongside the stamer, on one or both sides, it “was not uncommon to fasten barges’ loaded with ‘extra cattle or freight. The lowing and smell of the beasts during hot weather did not make life even on athe upper decks any too pleasant. : There was little to do but snooze, eat and talk “during the daytime, and to crowd to the railing when‘ever we stopped at a native village and marvel at the size of the protruding tummies of the native small fry. _ Between .the ages of one and six, the diet of half-zooked plantains and fish seems to bloat the little bodies to the point of deformity, but after these ages, -their ventral organs appear to become normal and -wesume.their proper places.
