Camp Baker On This Day In Oregon

"Made bunks for sleeping. Our dinner consisted of a kind of ? soup, very good to the taste but not much nourishment in it, and for drink, we had some of the best water served up in fine style.

"At four o'clock the roll was called. Half an hour later, stable call, and after that, supper in great varieties. First: bread and meat and water, spoiled by adding some coffee to it. Second: meat, coffee and bread. Third: coffee, bread and meat."
