Saturday, August 27, 1938. Commenced labelling dried specimens. A party of five Papuan men and six youths appeared in camp at three o'clock in the afternoon, unheralded by any sentry. They seem to have come from the branch of the Grand Valley due north. For the first time these people smoked our tobacco and cigarettes and accepted presents of small cowries and odds and ends. Natives wore string nets, some partly ornamented with yellow material from orchid stems, covering their heads and hanging back over the neck. All had small string bags containing tobacco, leaves for rolling cigarettes and firest fire making rattans hanging under one arm. All armed with bows and arrows. Some had stone adzes, one a steel tipped adze and several carried newly bent adzez handles with rattan -*- still attached. Sunday, August 28, 1938. Two more natives in camp this afternoon, this time quite unarmed and carrying only short staves of some light wood. Mirrors and small cowries with back removed inxthe are the popular articles of trade. A clasp knife and red handkerchief were accepted as gifts. Razor blades, on account of their cutting qualities, not popular. Monday, August 29, 1938. Toxopeus left for Mt. Wilhelmina with the following party: Toxopeus Two Javanese collectors l Cook l Dyak collector (my boy U-Sang) for Rand Dyak carriers, convicts and soldiers.
