137 Saturday, November 26, 1938. First really misty dark morning: forenoon overcast: afternoon wet: river in evening at highest level seen (Morning mist almost down to valley bottom). Day spent [illegible] and parking specimens to go to the Balim tomorrow. Sunday, November 27, 1938. Beautiful sunny day after misty morning: mist on ridges at about 2450 m. after mid-afternoon and sprinkles of rain. Teerink departed at 7 AM with all the carriers for the Balim. Only one convict remains and the camp is but the skeleton of its former imposing self. All specimens in condition to go out to the Balim. Versteegh has gone to the Balim and will commence work immediately upon arrival, provided escort and Dyaks are available. This, however, is doubtful. The Guba, we learnt this morning, is in Melbourne. Monday, November 28, 1938. Beautiful clear, rather hot morning: thunderstorm all around in afternoon, but only sprinkles of rain at camp: steady light rain 6.30 PM - Spent the morning collecting - mostly substage trees, in the pale barked Sama forest to about 2450 m. alt. E. of camp. Have by radio the rather disturbing news that the Guba has burnt out a piston at Melbourne. A Guinea Airways plane is coming to Hollandia for spare parts, which will be flown to Melbourne. The incident, according to Archbold, is not likely to interfere with expedition flight
