Tox. left for his over night trip to the 2700 meter camp. Himself, one collecting boy, five soldiers, two convicts to carry soldiers gear and one dyak as carrier! Ten in all - crossed his track over high point of ridge. Teerink to send soldiers shooting to East tomorrow and a three day patrol under a European sergeant to the West to find where track goes. RA thinks place for group background will be mountain as seen from ridge to northeast. Top of ridge surprisingly flat, open, pools of water, thickets of shrubs and clumps of moss - scattered 20-30 feet Libocedrus trees - Practically no real forest - very rarely a Dacridium to East and North. RA got off a news report to Times on land trip. August 23, 1938 Fog early - then clear - thunder and lightning this evening - no rain. To forest across way. Watched Bird of Paradise. Saw a black and white Poeciladryas (same as boys shot) high up in trees of forest. Brass to outlet and got me Hypstrundia and Oreopsittacea as well as Porzana and Podiceps. Teerink sent soldiers out hunting to east and south. They got several finches, a pipit and a grouse. Tox not back. Teerink and I arranged transport for Wilhelmina camp - he and I to go on 26th - To make a camp at [illegible] river several trips necessary - will have kg. food. fifty men - including ten whites at camp there. 2000 veryxgand. Teerink will arrange transport - in 20 kg units See separate sheet for our reservations of mountain. August 24, 1938 Clear cold and rather good golden sunrise. A very rare morning - no fog. Up ridge where had a good view of Carstenz. Hazy to west - hardly visible to naked eye - a cluster of peaks with a dark ridge with scar in front.
