MD3PAD 460-462

[Toby G Levy]

        Chapter 47 begins on page 460. It's Monday and two of the crew,
Robert Farlow and Thomas Hickman return to Bryant's farm to get the
sector that will be used in making the next reading at the twelve mile
point.  They arrive at the next twelve mile point on Sunday May 12th. It
is near the banks of the Susquehanna river.  There are many taverns
about and they take their time projecting the line across the river.
They do not begin moving the chains again until May 29th.

        On the last Saturday besides the banks of the Susquehanna, a
tremendous thunderstorm occurred, and Mason was moved to write in his
journal about the long straight streaks of lightning he observed.
