91 sistant, Ch. Versteegh. A very heated dispute between Rand and Myer Drees. Notwithstanding previous agreements in conference at Hollandia, Myer-Drees at first refused [illegible] to work under my direction. Considerations of prestige in Java appear to weigh heavily in this connection. Myer-Drees has agreed again to recognize my authority on matters botanical. He will, on my suggestion, spend most of his time in working distant localities from subsidiary camps of two or three days duration. Saturday, September 3, 1938. Dull drizzling day: Heavy rain in afternoon. Plane was forced by clouds to turn back after getting within hearing distance on a cargo delivery flight. Cataloging photographs and making preparations for a move to Mt. Wilhelmina Camp. Sunday, September 4, 1938. Guba, with Rogers, Booth, Barrinka and Brown, came, delivered the remainder of our September supplies and also brought in eight additional Dyaks transferred from the Idenburg. A reconnaissance flight over Mt. Wilhelmina lasting 27 minutes, made by Archbold, Teerink, Rand, Richardson and Brass. The object of the flight was to spy out a feasible route to the summit. Unfortunately, clouds from the SE drifted over the mountain and we had little more than a glimpse of the snow cap as we passed directly over the summit. It seems however, that a fairly easy approach can be made from the eastward. The afternoon spent in making up loads in preparation for a move to Mt. Wilhelmina camp tomorrow.
