These are impressions dealing with the Gallaghers. Arcadia. A name—a name of a place that means low valley in English. A native who is dressed in clothes that do not belong to him: he is performing. The clothes are a costume from another culture.

The Jesuit notices a three-legged dog. He wanders far off from the others, the Jesuit. (Note: The Jesuit is Seth’s nickname for Bill Granger.)

Now more personally our friend, the Jesuit. There is a large wooden object that he is taken with, like a totem, fatter it seems though and not so tall as one. He speaks with several male natives and an American man, from Minnesota, who deals in a business that is connected with salt.

A visit, a settlement of thatched or straw covered huts, nine to twelve of these. Our friend sees a shaman. A particular walk through a jungle area. Our friend, the Jesuit, is here, and five others have gone this same way earlier and he knows this: it is his reason for going, you see.

There is a light behind him also and he stands at a partially opened door, and our friend the Jesuit speaks to him. There is an identical structure very close by, perhaps attached, you see. There are steps and men sit on them. The stranger lives on the island and he wears a ring. He may also have on other jewelry.
