October 6-11, 1935 Busy at various things the weather during this time was on the good in the morning and in the afternoon showery; the 10th & 11th were excellent in that the mornings were cloudy & misty. On the 7th I put 2 traps down the main trail; the first 3 on a grassy spur (which could not get on the 3 successive nights).. and the rest in its woods. On the 9th I went out shooting after supper and shot a Petavrus from a tree on a grassy spur. It was openly feeding on its fruit so I brought a specimen in. Brass says that it is the same as he collected at Wunu No. 4806. P.O. Kides arrived on the 8th and slept the night with me, he was quite nice though he would not often eat very much. A number of women visited us bringing a good supply of yams, sugar cane, pandanus, more tomatoes, bananas, cucumbers & bread fruit so now we are living off the fat of the land! October 12 1935 A fine day with only a very slight sprinkle. I went up to pick up the traps that were all filled with the field of Pigeon Pigeon as Christmas was brought out by the last two or three days with a bad cold so did not know when to put them out I left them in. I found the owl I shot last night. Some Dew-Dewa people came bringing a new Phalangar, some Gladyota. I bought a lime pot with a rather pretty carved lid made of a cassowary's leg bone. October 13 1935 A similar day to yesterday. On spite of the fact that it was Friday the 13th the Day passed without incident October 14 1935 We all went down to the river feeling and got about 30 fish out of the pools. We went down the grass ridge; down the main trail from here. The trail was fairly good very well used. We had lunch soon of fresh fish. Also Brass & myself went in of swimming to pick up some of the fish. We came all after lunch & all got caught in the rain which it did pour hard.
