We had to stand quill far out until nearly opposite Red Island (at 9 a.m.), then turn directly in, heading for a beacon, & find Sharp right to the wharf. A wrecked place strewn with hundreds of empty 100-gallon gas drums--the aftermath of war. Our new cork Joe Metropoli (“Betty Joe”) was waiting on the wharf. Transportation had not yet arrived. Dick Holland of Lockerbie, the original home (and name) of Tardieu. His two sons Stan and Tom arrived in their trucks & guys said that Dick was on the way. There had been recent heavy rain, and fearing the dirt roads impassable, he had taken the long way around. Meanwhile I made some lunch. Dick arrived about 1:30. We loaded up his “blitz” truck & crossing a number of streams & swamps without topping down, reached Lockerbie almost 3:30 p.m. Then we met Mrs. Holland, a Scots woman from Dumfriesshire & later a daughter about 20 and a third son Dick, about 18. Sufficient carps was erected under my old maple trees so we could sleep in shelter. In the evening we were invited over to talk a while with the family. Wed. Apr. 21. Practically the whole day devoted to making camp. A second load (and last) came up about 11. But we were ready for the baggage. In the late p.m. gave my two boys, George Morton and Peter Dye, 5 traps each to test them out. The former, an old also hunter, has served wallyby spears. Van went out fishing in high numbers & killed a y. male spotted muskero and a melomys. Thu. 22. Sat. Apr. 22- 24. Setting trap at tree in yard. Teddy boys to stew. Van out “jacki” but a full room:- Take so far: R. lucopus many Festernada apilis ! Melomys castaneus 10+. R. culciformis 2. Pl. maculatus 1. Dactylopsila pecata 1.
