Miami, Monday, April 11th.
Our boatmen arrived today to take us to Lake Worth as per agreement but said the wind would serve better after supper, so Mr. Ingraham took advantage of the opportunity to go to the falls of the Miami River, called six miles, after specimens of the rock, ochre, etc. and brought back some fine ones.
Mr. Baker went out on horseback today to look up a good route for the survey, and a starting point in the glades, which will begin tomorrow, Mr. Newman having succeeded in recruiting a portion of the force necessary, all but two of those coming through the glades. Mr. Baker and Mr. Wilson, and some that were not desired declining to remain to complete the survey. In fact, but few were in a physical condition to do so or be of much value for the work.
When the hour for departure came our two boatmen were drunk, so the start was deferred until tomorrow morning. April 11th. Went to Falls. Got samples of red and yellow ochre at Indian Landing, also samples of rock (to replace those lost) from ledges and shell strata, showing break and out-crop at Miami Falls. Expect boat to come as wind did not serve yesterday, boatmen say will leave after supper for New River.
Mr. Church left today for Sanford via Key West on mail sail-boat. [There is no entry for this date. Last date in this text is April 7, 1892.]
