Obtained the names of the peak, the villages and the anchorage from a crowd of natives about the boat, who were returning home from repairing the fish walls, preparatory to a day (Saturday) of fishing. Saturday, August 16, 1924. Mothe and Oneata Ashore at 6:30. Up ridge behind landing place, catching moths, flies, craneflies, wasps, leafhoppers, grasshoppers and spiders in the grass.
