"25m B Richardson 1938 Journal Account and well in the water with the stingers. I estmate that about 100 feet of the 250 ft has been completed. Two weeks should see it complete. Last evening as Arnold went on the air for the first time. The equipment is working well, far better than we had expected. An operator in [illegible] was contacted who informed me that Archbold with the Cuba was leaving the US in 35 mins. This information was received from another radio operator in San Diego. I hope more information will come through this evening. A call was sent to Archbold this morning by Floyd stating that it would be two weeks before we would have the ramps complete. June 3, Hollandia New Guinea. Began a small building today to house the photographic equipment. It is to be a stud-lie building with a peaked roof, one full story well set the half walls. Size is approximately 30 x 30 ft X 300 M. It is located before the wood house and the new Guinea building being built near adjoining Schreder's building on the north. The ramp is moving on rapidly considering that work is limited to few tools. The floor is in the new European store and judging from the set that it is progressing it will be completed in two days. Harold has been working at the radio all day today. Last evening it was confirmed by the Archbold radio operator that Archbold was leaving on this for New Guinea. I think is too soon.
