Saturday 23rd



Victorias. Hot in A.M. Weston and I about all in when we got to big hacienda at noon. The haciendero took us in and we had a good long rest and all the good water we could drink. Moved from Silay, sent our baggage by boat and when we hiked into Victorias the boat wasn't here. The native teacher gave us some supper and we hired a native house and turned in the bare boards with a canteen for a pillow. Boat came in about midnight and we got our cots and bags. Left our trunks and grips at Silay and are in light marching order now with all our stuff in a dunnage bag. Hot all day and no rain. Saw them making sugar at the hacienda where we stopped at noon. Ran through big cane fields all day. No rain at all.
