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!
