Mon,
Mar, 22
I was up early as usual.
and it was a beautiful clear
sunshiny morning. We had a hasty
break fast then to Caphlains and I
left Sumpah and 4 boys and
started at 7.15 for the Marai-Parai
Spur: went over the ridge back
of Tricus, then two lesser ridges
of rice fields, found Ophinglenum
in one, crossed the Daburnberg
river and then up on a ridge
which Sumpah called Marai-Parai Spur
then dropped down to the Tini taki
criver, very small and then up a
steep slope to a cave under a
rock (12,15') which the natives call
Lindition. Had some cold lunch
and then went up on the open
spur of Low, St. John, Norland and
Min Gibbs, Found Schiziq and
many interesting ferns on the
way up; also Strpenthes Rajah (?)
Had a heavy rain, Sumpah fled
to camp; I went back, changed
my clothes and we had took
rice and corn, (to Caphlains salmon)
for dinner, then a smoke and
to bed.
