Mar. 20th.  Breakfast and fare, 5 shillings.  After five miles, we come to a nice clean mountain stream flowing over a rocky bed.  We drink, bathe our feet and sing, "O, Ye Mountains High."  Seven miles and we have dinner, 1 shilling, at McRoy.  Then we pass Shoal River on a bridge 175 paces long to Braidwood, thirteen miles and stop at Kingland Hotal.
