The morning Fox, David Holt, Bazone, and transport left for Burnhard camp or the small camp at the foot of the hills. They will remain there until they have for Raholoda. This afternoon 2 persons came in with 4 dogs to sell. They did not know selling? the dogs but I did buy Mamore a sweet potato like thing which is to be used as rat bait. They remained at camp amusing us and evening crossed the river to their night's shelter. These natives are not only interested in selling these dogs but also in obtaining permission to take 2 discarded ones which they had found at the 1200 m. camp. Honestly is the best policy and a primitive one. Weather: Clear with occasional day clouds. Evening clear. Apr. 5 #km SW Burnhard Camp, entering R.
