Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 5 February 1902
Fever abating. Kept very quiet.
Shot deer at nightfall.
Slept at Singoun. Fairly good night. Many jungle fires.
I kept very quiet the next day, for repeated attacks of fever had begun to interfere with my digestive apparatus. Just at nightfall, however, two deer came down to drink at the riverside. It was rather dark for a shot, and the deer could hardly be distinguished from the surrounding foliage, but the men very clearly and silently held the boat, and I let fly. The result was better than I expected. I hit exactly where I had aimed, and the deer dropped like a stone. Needless to say we had a first-class dinner. We slept at Singoun that night. There were a great many jungle fires during this day and the next.
