(108) Drew and anchored in T-eop Anchorage at 11:30, coming in by moonlight. I forgot to mention that Terra went ashore around gazelle Hafen to look for Father Chaije's so-called pelicans. There were none, of course. But for the good Padre's Jesuit education I should have dismissed his idea of such a thing when it was men- tioned. Could he mean hornbills? May 1- Feeling the fever still I did no collecting. Hicks and David ashore at 7. The skipper and I received Mr Faulkner, who described the "lake" and its strange birds, which he wrote about in his letter to Dr. Drome while we were work- ing in the Kronprinsen behind Keeta. He very kindly offered all manner of assistance including the procuring of car- riers and even insisted on joining the party. During the forenoon and after lunch I was busy with the stack of film taken on the Balbi trip. Hicks and David re- turned with about 30 birds, including the first white-headed "fan-fan" kingfisher from Bougainville.

Tewarita is the village - has no government comm
