Dec. 1905
Just arrived at camp to start the production on the this canal the Americans want to build, the first thing I see is on my in was three old wagons. The first was filled with the dynamite for blasting, but the other two wagons where for the bodies which are already being filled at the moment. As I spoke to the Foreman for the section he told me that they had just lost three men to malaria and said that I am to fill their replace them immediately. when I get to my work station I am told that I will have to venture to cliff face to deliver some of dynamite to the workers farther along. as i made my way farther up the canal found after speaking with several of the young men working their that a few months ago a man with my same job dropped his load of dynamite, disintegrating him instantly i was told that all they found were his blood drenched hat what was left of his boots. I have a feeling it is going to be along stay in this deceivingly beautiful place.
