Oct. 30
Sat.
I was up at six and went
down to the river for my bath;
we had an apology for a brisk
fare and then we packed up
and all left Barry together; I had
to wade the river several time
and then we climbed up some
hills and kept on the rise much
of the time; had some wonderful
views of Tinea Balm along the
way. I saw but very little
in the plant line that I
wanted to collect. We got to
Kian at about one o'clock,
a little sprinkle, the first
rain we have had since we
left Jeselton. I have spent all
the afternoon in fixing up
the house and getting things
settled. I seem to be only 9
convinced so far as the columns
are concerned. Hampoth the present
chief and Lumpath and Laura called
on us and showed their letters
of recommendation. We had dinner
by candle light and I
soon went to bed.
