"ractor", is the printer's name, taking these notes to be equipped?
One of the Province hunters who have been camped nearby returned this afternoon from a visit to the coast. Brought 3 small Gobonians from a cave on a creek near CHEEKEO, a Mycterium is a bad sort. We are in 12 lbs. of the deer which I passed by the evening; hunter has perhaps gone home for good. He had brought a neat lot of mammal, for the collection to an local values, has earned a considerable amount of money for himself (he has had a companion most of the time). The man has earned 60 lbs. of meat.
Watched in amazement this morning, Doulele taking a good plot of bold rice after two days of illness and much groaning during two nights. He brought the remark from Tinkers: "When there (certainly not) talking, they're crock."
Tinker walked into camp at 6.45 P.M., having left Mapamoiwa at 10 A.M., he says, a walked the first part of a bone in a mountain trail by flashlight. He brought mails. But instead of the flashlight batteries we need to badly, a carton containing four bottles of rum. A general miss-up. Not from Crosby, who is being relieved by another EMTA, with whom, apparently, he was having a party. The new EMTA was brought from Tamara by the medical vent HEKARHA, according to Tinker. This vessel brought one cargo, the KEDELENTII having broken down. Only 16 bottles were supposed to come on the Kedelima (to ALUCHEI, on the Maritime coast), a to eleven mammoth states (to replace started putting). I (weight) in New York) & 4 bottles of rum were to be sent by the vessel due to pick us up at JAMELEKE on June 27.
East on the Kedelima was a crate containing 6 dozen plates & 16 Galleries, & a crate holding the rum. Crosby gave Tinker the rum; The Galleries are still at Mapamoiwa.
Sat. June 16: May. 23°, min. 18°C. Light rain with heavy mist from dawn to about seven; mist to mid-morning. We felt the rain. SE Wrecks.
Tinker, having been asked to go back to Mapamoiwa, departed about 8 A.M. with a girl from Tinket asking
