This morning was spent in setting the
net traps in the forested ridge, east of camp.
It is high and in a more open forest
than that previously set in. Long areas
with scattered undergrowth and little. The
latter part of the traps lies in an old
cut over and grass land garden area. The
90 mm traps and 2 stub traps set half way of
camp were taken up today and sent to
the front at the north. The latter was
done by the collecting logs.
There was no more information on
signs of unrest among the natives
till a native woman had been attacked by
soldiers. It is apparently a false story.
