Diary Entry...

Still no candied corned beef in sight... The men are beginning to lose hope and have resorted to rationing meals so that we might push on further, although I somehow fear a mutiny may be in store if we do not find what we're looking for in the next few months. The length of day has grown lean and the dogs are fighting more often now. One can only hope that we will find more resources, and especially the coloring books that the men are so desperately attached to...the thin pages can only hold so many months of crayon markings depicting colours of the deeply needful soul...
