Thursday Oct. 11: A very wet day. Heavy showers from before daylight through afternoon. Left Mocoai with Hugh Gobine on the "WHEI-WHEI" at 3PM. and arrived TINJU 5.30, just before dusk. Took the inside passage. Calm with a light in one place, probably off the beach in the reef, and mostly very shallow. Entered pictures. Tracked bottom a few times. Good small school of fresh limba at Jinju. Dined with them among cocoons and mangos on the beach, oval in shape, with some limba trees, and fan-leaf roof. Then met at the wharf by Brother Cantwell of the Catholic mission (Father Coles was at Mocoai to meet the "Muniana"), who invited us to dinner. Excellent meal. Nicely served. Had 1600 making for the first time in a European house in the Toriisado. Father Coles & Brother Cantwell live in a thatched 3-roomed house with grand floor. Three sisters apparently have similar quarters. A convent of permanent construction is now being built. The mission was established, I think, in 1847. Did some sorting of cargo after dinner. Very heavy rain while we ate. Hugh departed for the next day east along the coast. He would not have had enough water to get away from Jinju at low tide. The "Mavi" needs a good time for the trip between Mocoai & Jinju inside the reef. Friday Oct. 12: A threatening dawn. But as carriers were waiting decided to leave for the mountain. The usual delays while the carriers assembled - some from Jinju, some from East Point, some employees of the mission. Set away with 34 loads at 7.25. Crossed a mangrove through behind the palm grove, then began to climb through a small coconut plantation of the Oloans (the secondary) forest immediately above the plantation. After a new garden of good pigs, being planted mainly to Tan, and wire fenced. Mostly second growths then to DARI BENI hamlet at about 600ft overlooking the Carna reef and Atera Island. Fairly steep. Wipers to the point. Rested 15 minutes at Zambeni (35 minutes from Jinju). Then began a long, gradual ascent through fine tall forest. At round about 1000ft passed 2-3 old villages with coconut & betelnut palms and - rain-wet bananas. Dined
