Men.
Feb.29 I was out at 6 and had tea and
went with Breakenbury, Booth and two chaps
who were stripping with him. I started
out at 9.15 and made a pony to Meng-
Kabong, saw Marville and a pipewort
but did not stop to collect it there.
At Mengkabong I took a boat and came
down the Tuaran River and after two hours
walked over a little ridge and then
with another boat with six men
and set out for Jesselton, had some
rain but after I got within sight
of J. a very bad storm came up,
the rain came down in sheets, had
very heavy wind and the seas was
so bad that we shipped water, could
not see any land and we had
to change our course and I thought
we would never reach land.
I finally slackened up a little and
I got into the Bunting at about 3.30
and got to the Rest House just
ahead of another downpour. Had tea,
looked up my luggage, opened up my
clothes and specimens which are with
had dinner & wrote up my notes.
Almost the worst ever working day that
