The party left in good spirits although I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for the Dysps carrying a load of 300 man kilos. After they were packed and ready to have the soldiers distributed 24th out it and in addition to their already excessive loads. According to the contract they were to carry a 20 kilo load but the Captain said it was impossible to travel as and give the one load as an extra precaution.
