180 Idenburg rising higher and higher and is at a record high level every day: another 20 cm. and it will be up to the top of the radio table. Teerink and Toxopeus made an excursion down stream and reached the point, about 2 hours distant, where van Arcken crossed and camped on one of his early patrols from Bernhard Camp. The river valley narrows and the stream becomes a succession of rocky rapids and small waterfalls. One of the Timorese soldiers shot a young cassowary in the ridges SW of camp. First bird of the kind killed at this camp. Sent my boys into the field and spent the morning labelling dried material to send out on the 24th. Thursday, March 23, 1939. Will have to think of some new terms to describe the weather, which has not varied from generally rotten for as far back as I can conveniently re- member. Short spells of bright, dazzling sunshine this morning, between showers: the afternoon and evening generally rainy. Every night lately, at some late hour, I have been aroused by strong wind flapping my tent, and kept wakeful by thoughts of crashing trees. Idenburg higher than ever--up to the bottom of the seats in the dining room, which is on the highest ground in Bernhard Camp. Teerink has decided to move camp holus-bolus to the foot of the hills, and is taking down all spare Dyaks tomorrow to assist in the shift. Spent the day in camp, labelling specimens. Friday, March 24, 1939. Dull and showery: little sun: strong gusty wind with thunderstorm early evening. Teerink took all spare Dyaks and convicts to the Idenburg to assist in the evacuation of Bernhard Camp.
