General Account Purchased (2) two Rhaggers today, a mother with one young (seems to be species almost). The Gilla is at present on its way to New Guinea, the last lap of its flight. It will arrive here tomorrow morning about seven o'clock, having left Wake Isl. Let this telegram: Forty or half hour signals will keep us in contact with the plan. Jun 10 Hollandia New Guinea The big event at day was the arrival of the Gilla this morning about 6:00. It came out of the cloudy to the east, circled Hollandia Bay and settled in Humboldt Bay beyond 'Cape Paul'. The rest of the day was spent in acclimating the six new airmen to their new home Hollandia and at the same time trying to accomplish some work. I redrilled four boys in this niggerheads in the coral reef channel and set 5 charges of dynamite, only one went off, the other 4 were duds. The caps seem to be defective or else we are not making them set correctly. I'm sure that did go off made a fearful job of it almost completely shattering a long niggerhead. The fish that were collected after the blast weighed 13 different kinds. They were not gaged. The new members of our expedition which arrived today are: Richard Willard Russell P. Rodgers Serald D Brown Raymond E Booth Steve Barinika (Sp?) Capt Lon Yarchy (Sp?) Jun 11 Hollandia New Guinea Work has been rather hot and mess today. This
