July 8/1935 I blew & rained hard all night & was very miserable. it continued untill about 10:00 so we did not get up for breakfast till after 8:00...After 10:00 I went out and visited the snares only Rond & B Boas stayed in the boys dorm it rather trying as they had not finished their fly in properly. After lunch the weather was a little cool not much better near the less we was out & set five more snares. In the evening the weather clear through the wind continued huge until very late. July 9, 1935 I visited the snares on the north shelfs & caught a wood-cock in one & had 2 others spring. I checked up the traps there were 3 rats of recently I sent night + 2 right befor. After lunch the weather stayed mostly cool so set out to set trap in the forest above camp wheres the new shows are. And Mr Adamson arrived saying he would be back this week. July 10, 1935 I caught three rats all the same & return & baked a loaf of bread. Mr. Adamson arrived just as we were finishing lunch. The afternoon was spent in talking over plans. We had our first real downing for a long time. The weather was good with few clouds. July 11, 1935 In the morning I visited my traps which only held two rats. As the weather was getting better so after lunch we took the small tent and went to Lake Gugaba in order to have the carries from the summit we had a fine view of the plateau from the outlet which falls very steeply shortly after leaving the lake. July 12, 1935 We had an excessively smoke night as we had to lit the cook boy (Adamson's) burn than a fire as he had only one blanket. The wood was half rotten... and after a meagre breakfast of tea & a small piece of bread we left at 6:15 and got to the summit of Quama at 4:40. There were lots of clouds down down so its sunrise was not much and we could not see the coast. I shed.
