Dyaks, soldiers and Papuans. Difficult to control such a camp where you have no authority over soldiers. Saw a case today which could have caused trouble. Trying to stop trading all through camp, urging soldiers and convicts to stop trading--instead of stopping trading, soldiers urged Papuans to pensar? and one Papuan disregarding the order, a soldier seized his pay from him--I interfered at once and so arrested trouble but that sort of thing may have serious consequences. 27 carriers returned to Habbema with many Papuans (none came down today). Many natives in camp, selling sweet potatoes chiefly--had a pig they tried to sell for 10 shells--also yesterday. Cornelius bought one pig the other day for 7. October 20th. Dull all day--very rare bits of sunshine. Rain off and on after 11. Hunting up ridge to East past house, to lower stunted Rhododendron, much moss--predominant tree still sama. Very few birds. Boys down to 2700 m and got Puechedyms, Azina and Chemoryna, stomach very thin-walled. Teerink arrived with escort and native (11) transport, paying last 1 shell when they start, 1 when they finish. Had some trouble with one convict who has been sick and refused to carry so went back to Habbema with Doctor who will be down tomorrow. Many Papuans about, selling sweet potatoes and bananas--no rats, ten small birds. Richardson only 2 mammals today in more than 400 traps. October 21st. Doctor came down from Habbema, all OK and in best of spirits. Teerink anxious to get on to next camp. Tried to find our position in air photos and I think successfully. Choosing next camp from air photo on the point of land SE of valley which forms its SE edge where it enters Grand Valley. Many natives with sweet potatoes and bananas and 2 small very common birds.
