13 but she had not returned. (An urgent business trip for her office proved to be the answer.) - On the way to the McCosh home I was bitten just below the right knee by a fiery little fox terrier; through the skin, but with little bleeding. This did not suit me, so as soon as practicable I incised the wound and forced bleeding, using a new razor blade, then applying proper medication. May 28 A trip to the Bluff with John A. Rutter, Junior Forester, from the University of California at Berkeley. - Sky filled with clouds but sunshine frequently breaking through. Coolish; a slight breeze, increasing later. We ascended the Zigzag Trail. At the north end of the foot-tunnel Rutter, using powerful binoculars, surveyed the area and marked on his map the spaces characterized by Rhus, Juniperus, Yucca, etc. Going through the tunnel he similarly treated the region south. Returning to the north side we made our way up the trail, rounded the basal end of the eastern promontory, and went on to the top. We went to the northern promontory, and from the rim west Rutter made another platting. Here the rain caught us; we stayed under pines but got moderately wet. A dozen showers were visible, those to the northwest heavy. Returned to Gering shortly before 5 p m. A pleasant trip; was very favorably impressed by Rutter. Five photographs; see film record.
