138 June Aug. 9 I was awake very early and up before daylight and sat at my doors and watched the day come in. After breakfast Mrs. Clements showed me some ophiolite from that a boy had brought in and so I took him up on the western slope of Burulan Spur and collected a quantity of it in a newly cleared rice field. came home and had time to dry some clothes and change dress before noon. It was rather raining in the afternoon, and I began the packing for the mountains; I fixed up the "chew"; some clothes and specimens which I took up to dump at here in the late afternoon. Nearly all day the house has been full of coolies and hampers has been around and I think tried to stir up some discord. Had a late dinner and then I sat at my door and smoked and watched for the night.
