September 23 1933
I finished up all the steel traps and spent
the rest of the day packing specimens and various other
things.
September 24 1933
I did not go out but finished packing specimens.
September 25 1933
Adamson arrived about 1 o'clock having been
proceeded by Brother Jeandron so we had quite a
gathering for our send off.
September 26 1933
We got away with more confusion than necessary
considering the number of time we have shifted at
7:45. We had a rather uneventful trip to Mondo. The 3rd
of an improved road was very muddy then and we got
caught in a heavy shower about one o'clock but it did
not last long nor did this less we got wet & a mug of
rum tasted good when we arrived.
September 27 1933
An easy but aggravating day of four hours as
one could see Belavista from every point which makes
it very aggravating also it was some what warmer than
we were used to having it. We started in at the mission
station at St. one to finish up mail for the coast. We
spent about an hour sitting there beds & in consuming a cup
of cups of coffee. We had rain during 4s afternoon.
September 28 1933
An easier day yet only about three hours
including the hour half spent at Mafule consuming
coffee & mail also the usual gossip. The afternoon
was spent in arranging & checking supplies. Gallo or
Rangiroa is 74 off on his down the road from Mafule
though we are loading our specimens Mafule.
September 29-30 1933
Spent in writing letters & in making camp.
Last night [30] I went out shooting but did not care
in bringing anything back, shot a small case of cany,
but was unable to find it. I shot a frog by the forest bed
& was on the ground & its eyes show brightly!
