our route with smoke from Mondo the end of the days march
four hrs off. This time it was Billy that went
down the cliff so that we did not catch its spates.
Adamson & I left the mail at five one and had a long
talk we found out that Randal Hamkins had spent 2 weeks
touring Brown Brothers Jeandron we got the key to their
rest house of Mawe & Tapa. We got in at Mondo
after a rather hot uphill slog just as the mules and
the last of the carriers Rand had proceeded us in and
was calmly sacking a rum crate.
