approaching the entrance, the flight out
ceased with the exception of an occasional
one or two. This flight through the
jungle was one of our most interesting
trips observed. The flight left was seen
about 5:30 before the spy was actually
darkened some 200 yards to the actual
entrance. A general flight was along
a rather straight course southward
to the jungle. They were flying
low (5 to 10 ft.) through the slender
foliage of the low jungle, boarding
a spell was. The sound at all
little or no fading in flight but
with a determined flight toward an
assumed landing ground. I shall make
further observations later.
June 8
Hollandia New Guinea.
This morning was spent in the water with
this Poyman removing coral blocks along the
channel which the airplan is to now coming
into the range. Three large blocks (4 x 3) were
broken down and removed, and another 5 prepared
for preparation for the blast. High tide this afternoon
prevented work on the reef so we moved the work on
the photographic room aty sticks or going on. The
remp came to the shore, the patrol progress
slowly but surely.
June 9 Hollandia New Guinea.
The rain which has been practically
continious throughout the day has slowed our
work down considerably. This morning regardless
of rain I removed several more of the
coral blocks. The cold water (for staying) and
air cut on work short than I had expected.
The coolness quite effect to change it colder
conditions. No work on the airprop or paint
as well as the other progress slowly.
