Journal Entry, Day 14: The Camp is awoken abruptly by a rumble from The Cave. 'Hambone' the cook ran into the Leader's tent and exclaimed: "There is dust coming up from the Cave." The Leader nods, but says nothing. Dresses himself and walks over to the kitchen tent for tea and eggs. Hambone serves him and runs to the other servants who are nervous. S. Airedale joins the Leader. S's red beard is redolent of tobacco and brandy. It has been a difficult night.

‎"You were gambling again." The Leader states fact, and not conjecture; S. always gambles withn Mme. K is in Camp. No one mentioned the cave in below them; it woluldn't have been proper to show emotion or panic to the servants.

‎"You know his name is Hamurabi, not 'hambone.' That's an American sounding name, from some show boat or the sort..." Mme. K. mentioned as she entered the tent. Pouring herself some tea and taking a plate of eggs she joined the men at their table. she was wearing a grey flannel skirt with white blouse and some severe black lace up boots.
