There is a funny little lizard that comes into my tent and is quite tame now; he jumps about like a little frog and puffs his throat out. THERE IS A FUNNY LITTLE LIZARD THAT COMES INTO MY TENT AND IS QUITE TAME NOW HE JUMPS ABOUT LIKE A LITTLE FROG AND PUFFS HIS THROAT OUT
he band plays. Near Santiago, May 20, 1898. DARLING ETHEL: I loved your little letter. Here there are lots of funny little lizards that run about in the dusty roads very fast, and then stand still with their heads up. Beautiful red cardinal birds and tanagers flit about in the woods, and the flowers are lovely. But you never saw such dust. Sometimes I lie on the ground outside and sometimes in the tent. I have a mosquito net because there are so many mosquitoes. Camp near Santiago, July 15, 1898. DARLING ETHEL: When it rains here--and it's very apt to rain here every day--it comes down just as if it was a torrent of water. The other night I hung up my hammock in my tent and in the middle of the night there was a terrific storm, and my tent and hammock came down with a run. The water was running over the ground in a sheet, and the mud was knee-deep; so I was a drenched and muddy object when I got to a neighboring tent, where I was given a blanket, in which I rolled up and went to sleep.
