Beautiful clear moon last night--woke to find it flooding 1/2 tent and making mountains stand black as ink except Wilhelmina which with a slight haze about the summit reflected back light white. The cook told me that this AM at 4 "he be in day he or kitchy" and this AM at 10 "he be one hand see him on hill to North" Omm, ah. Found tins 400 yards above camp left by Kremen. September 13th. A fine day, all day. Sun comes early here. Brass and Van Arken for lunch. Brass sent Meyr-Drees down to the Betman Camp for collecting, after some argument. Plane came in and dropped 1 package meat, apples and eggs. Parachute opened beautifully but fell beyond hill. Soldiers would never have found it. Also dropped one package of bamboos for radio mast--chute didn't open and bamboos badly cracked and not too usable. Toxopeus came up to stay. He seems a kindly, likable soul at times. How I hate to talk with surly regiment people--or rather with people who are off their subject--like T. 80 Km in 4 days in this country. Boy caught 3 stenomys and 1 woodrat in forest fringe. Night, an eerie light on crest of ridge--starlight on fog? September 14th. Clear AM, rain early afternoon, then fine with clouds flowing in from SE. Climbed onto top of grass ridges to north and in front of cliff north of peak. R.A. and Teerink went up to prospect route to peak--saw them on top of ridge just before 10 (left about 7.30). Shortly above 3800 m. all fruit disappears except a few scattered shrubs (prickly leaved berries on which paramythia feed). Several small sharp ridges go up and it is along these that shrubs grow. Went up to 42-4300 meters. Birds :- Turdus Saw 3 or 4, solitary, noisy, up right cliff.
