Page Two (V.D. Diary: May 10, 1964) grin but did not partake. Kim is not surprised at anything we do now! Ken took several pictures (flash) of our table group feasting on python. Ken and I went bat shooting along the small stream. Found one bat flying at 5:45 P.M. No luck. Stan and Tobram out jacking on Tobram's cut trail. They had five shots but failed to connect. In at 10:45 P.M. The mammal men, Tobram and Davida are allowed to use only our single- barreled shot-guns, because of their relative inexperience. Shells are issued to them each night, and the shells are given to me (even the spent ones) when they return to camp. We have never had a jacking accident on an Archbold Expedition, and this is one record I don't want broken! They are given their turn to shoot at eyes that "shine". Wing-shooting is one art that seems quite beyond them, even with practice. Even Ken and Stan are duds at it to date. Ken was a champion rifleman in the Port Moresby competitions, so I will be interested to watch his progress. Stan has no trouble with the daytime collecting of small birds.
