David LeRoy Topping notebook, 1904-1940

Record

A CORRESPONDENT writes: "D. LeRoy Topping died on July 20 in Honolulu, after a long illness. He was born in North Harpersfield, N. Y., on November 2, 1861. Mr. Topping was interested in botanical field work, particularly in ferns, assembling large and im- portant collections not only from various parts of the United States, but also in the Philippines, where he served for many years; in Siberia, where he served with the American Red Cross following the World War; in British North Borneo, particularly on Mount Kinabalu, and in the Hawaiian Islands, where he has lived since his retirement in 1922." Narrative of Toppings. 1915 Kina Balu trib. British North Borneo begins h. 100

ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY JAMAICA PLAIN MASS. Nov.1,1940 Dear Mr.Weatherby: Otto Degener of Honolulu sent the Topping book via Mrs.Merrill,and asked that it be placed in the Gray Herbarium. As I acquired from Degener a reasonably representative set of Topping's ferns which eventually will find their places in the Gray Herbarium,it seems that its library is the proper place for Topping's lists and account of his Kina Balu trip. Very truly yours E.D.Merrill

25 APRIL 1, 1910.] THE BRITISH NORTH BORNEO HERALD. 66 ASCENT OF MOUNT KINABALU. In forwarding the following account of a recent ascent of Kinabalu for publication, His Excellency the Governor writes as follows :- "The report of the ascent of Kinabalu made by Miss L. S. Gibbs during February was written at my request by Mr. D. R. Maxwell, Assistant District Officer, Province Keppel, who accompanied that lady. It is characteristic in picturing the expedition as merely a prolonged picnic and I am glad that I am able to record that Miss Gibbs, who was a guest at Govern- ment House on her return, whilst giving me a general account of the ascent and of her observations on the botany of the mountain, her special object, informed me also of the vicissitudes which were reduced to a minimum by the way in which Mr. Maxwell managed the expedition at practically a moment's notice since he was not warned to be in readiness. Miss Gibbs paid a tribute to the consideration shown for the comfort of every individual, which was done without impeding progress in any way. We shall look forward with great interest to the publication of Miss Gibbs' report and in the meantime must congratulate her on being not only the first lady who had made the ascent, but also on the fact that in the interests of Botanical Science she chose the long course via Tambunan, a journey of many days entailing more hardship and discomfort than the actual ascent." Mr. Maxwell writes as follows :- As the ascent of Kinabalu will perhaps be again attempted this year, it may not be out of place to write a report on my ascent with Miss L. S.* Gibbs. GEOGRAPHY OF ULU KADAMAYAN. Several mountain streams have their source round Kinabalu (a) Kadamayan, the main tributaries of which are Kenatak (minor) and Kulapis which flows down from Tenampak, the divide to Bundutuhan and Interior. (b) Kiulan which joins Kadamayan between Kaung and Gahin. (c) Heia Heia which is a tributary of (d) Penokok which is a tributary of (e) Datrobang which is a tributary of (f) Kenataki all of which hence flow into the Kadamayan a little way above Kaung. The largest of the above rivers, except of course the Kadamayan, is the Datrobang and all of them run in their own valleys between spurs running out from Kinabalu. They are also all on the S. side of the big Marai Parai spur which culminates in Mt. Nukok (known by Bajaus as Saduk Saduk) under the base of which is Kaung. On the other side of Marai Parai rise the river Melambun (or Limbun) and the bigger river Penataran. The Melambun flows into Kadamayan immediately below Tambatuhan and the Penataran still further seawards. These rivers all join Kadamayan on the true right. The only river of any size joining Kadamayan on the ture left to the ulu is the Kiamat which has its mouth almost opposite Kiau. The spur of Kinabalu up which one mounts to achieve the ascent of Kinabalu is really the beginning of that range of hills which separates the Interior from ulus Tempasuk, Tuaran, Papar, &c., and extends to near Pangi. STAGES OF ASCENT. Headquarters are naturally at Kiau and the first stage is from Kiau to Lobang, an overhanging rock called after a small mountain stream which flows into the true left of Kadamayan. It runs just below the cave and hence there is no difficulty about water. The accommodation is ample for a large number of coolies although water would probably run down the rock in wet weather. The deepest part is however, with a few kadjangs, capable of being made quite weather proof. The best way to reach Lobang is to follow the hill from

27 P. W. D.—Coolies were employed in cleaning the road at the N. of plain, and deepening ditches. On 20th owing to the non-arrival of rubber seeds, Mr. Morrill was able to let 15 of his coolies join my gang in reconstructing the Estate Road N. of the river to the nursery, about ½ mile in length. The hedge on the W. side was cut down. (Land owners were as usual under the impression that the road was their boundary.) The fence was moved back by them to the true boundary. The road will thus get the necessary sunshine with 66 feet of open land. No permanent planting had been done on the encroachment; heavy rain has interfered with the work. The Contractor completed his three ballards for the wharf. His work was delayed by the previous absence in Sandakan of the Charter with which Government had agreed to tow his timber. He lost one raft in trying to sail it over. Corte Harbour Coal Co.—During the month 2,646 tons of coal were mined, 2,295 tons were exported including 435 tons in bunkers, 297 tons were sold locally, and 1,127 tons were sent to Sandakan. I visit- ed the Mines on 16th, and returned early on 13th. A Chinese cooly who did not get an empty tub soon enough to please him struck his mandore underground as the man was riding on a car being drawn up the incline. Fort-unately the mandore was dragged aside in time with only a fractured nose. I gave the cooly 2 years H. I. TAWAO. JANUARY. ALIC. JOHNSTON, Supl. of Public Works.

100 Sab. Oct. 2. My Trip to Borneo. After a most strenuous forenoon's work in the office I endeavored to take a "park tiffin rista" but at 2.30 my telephone sounded me and I was informed that the S.S. "Dumalier" would sail at 3. I need rush to dress and get to the boat only to learn that the time set for sailing was 4 and we finally set steam at about 3' in a down- pour. Almost every place on deck was washing but we soon cleared out of the line of rain and passed by Loerrigider with a fine sunset over Mt. Marivalles. Struggled with luggage in my state- room which I think will be its only use I shall finish it too. Had our dinner at noon, Spanish style with its "vino tinto" of which I am very fond; even after I work to bed on deck on a Filipino cut several sizes two short with all the bed clothes did several sizes too short but the strenuous days work has tired me so, that stretching out on a bare board would be welcome.

Sun, Oct 3 Was so tired that I could not sleep much last night. Had some tea and went early, my ship board luxury and then tackled the Spaniard. Bad! two foils of water, one "sable" and one "white" and a small can painted red which I painted myself. Now wearing off my tired-to-death feeling and our reading the odds and ends of my papers and magazines and writing up my diary. One or two close to some very fascinating looking islands; rocky and wooded to the top; might be interesting botanically as they seemed uninhabited. It has been cloudy most of the day with occasional showers - a very restful sort of day. Sat out on deck after dinner and talked with Dr. Lennar, Col. Sharpe and a Mr. Beach, the only Americans aboard Row close to some lights here in the evening and during the day the Sir. Forbes passed us and we met the S.S. "Cuba" To bed seven after 8 on deck.

102 Mon. Oct. 4 Was awake before light and had tea and work on deck and then my "tin-can" both.. We had an early breakfast just as we came to anchor at Bela, De Lersson and I went ashore together, washed over to the club and then we got a nice and dinner around the towers, a much cleaner and better dwelling place than I expected. The boat was due to sail for Dammagmete at 9 but with its usual Spanish "manana" habit did not get away until 11. De Lersson, Col. Shanks & Mr. Beatt all left the boat at Bela. As we left below three U.S. torpedo boats destroyers steamed out along side of our boat even left me in the distance. Nothing much to see on the run from Bela to Dammagmete: reached the latter place at about 6 but I did not go ashore. It lies a beautiful location at the foot of a high mountain Culmora de Negro, (The Ram of Negro.) I slept some looking in the morning and went to bed quite early. Everybody in ashore.

Ines, Oct. 5'. It is early to bed and early to rise with me. Had my tea and wash on deck and then my "tin-can-bath". Dressed and had breakfast on time and then Mr. McGraw P.B., and another chap whose name I do not know, and myself went ashore in the launch. I spent all the time ashore in collecting shells; also paid a fereta for a lot; got about 23' new species for my collection. Been charmed with Demaguste and would like to spend a vacation there, came aboard at 10 but we did not sail until 12. There are very heavy black clouds ahead of us. The sun along Oriental Mergus is very attractive. I took a siesta after tiffin and then read some botany from Merrill's book and fixed up one book of poor old Dr. Prothiernia's field labels. Had my tea in the P.M., and at dinner time we struck the storm that loomed up ahead of us. The rain and wind has made an awful roar and the sea is getting high. Not much sleep on deck a head of me.

104 Wed, Oct. 6 I had in a most fitful night with the wind, rain and light seas. Had practically no sleep at all and welcomed daylight and also a sight of the island of Mindanao and of Davao a little later. Had my tea and toast early and breakfast and then packed up and we landed at about 8. It is still quite raining. I took a rickshaw up to the Palace or Plaza Hotel and engaged room, Met Father McButcher on the street; dropped in to Salee's drug store, with Paul Fairs and Mr. Lecoley at dinner. Mrs. Morris took McButcher and me down to the hospital in the P.M. Visited around with numerous people and loafed and wrote up my diaries. Davao is a most attractive looking place. After dinner a Mr. Shewter, a Pub, Wood's man took me to the club and we had some drinks and then I got to bed at about 10.30

Thurs, Oct. 7. The Gambia church bells awok me at about 5.30 and I was up by six, had my bath and break- fasted by seven. Dropped in on Mr. Saleby and then on Yeager and Fairs. I found in the both. I wandered around the streets and walk to the market. Saw Dr. book of North Pole fame on the street and also met Col. Troub. Walked around to the M. Bartleman and chatted until noon; the books and I looked over the church. Took a rest after tiffin and then called on the Dr. Baker's but they were out; met Judge Hewerd on the street and walk around to the house and called on Mrs. Hewerd.

Wandered on down through the Mars Village and then struck on to the beach and collected shells until about one and then came back for tiffin with Miss Riddell and Mr. Burb. Miss R. took me over to see the mewing. I got back home at about four, had a bath and changed clothes and then made a call, and had tea with Col. and Mrs. Peter Traub; most charming people. After dinner I called on Mr. Cameron, an engineer but he was out. Looked around the hotel, walked down to the wharf to see the Pannulus and then home; looked over my shells and got to bed early.

Soon after lunch I took the road out to San Jose which led me down to the track and then I followed up the shore and collected many shells. Had to take off my clothes to get across one stream. Got back in time to change before dinner. After dinner MS. M. Bulteons and I went around and called on Mr. Cameron, the engineer when I found work interesting Come home at about 10 and went to bed.

After tiffin I joined the other fellows and went to the ball game. Met Dr. Baker there. After the game I went to the Transport "Lisburn" and met Chap. Lair and Mrs. Clements and we walked out into the cemetery & then came back and I had dinner with them. I was pretty tired and went to bed at nine

Walked down to the Hospital and finally stayed for tiffin with Miss Riddle and Mr. Bush. Had some sports with two Hero kids who were stealing coconuts. Came back with the rides of going to San Ramon on the 3 o'clock but it left at 2.30. Went there and with a sister and at about five got up and had my bath and changed clothes.

We drove over to the house and loafed around till lunch time; met Miss Cowley a most charming woman. Took a little rest and then Cowley drove me all around the estate, a wonderful place and wonderfully managed. The rain drew us in but later we looked the friggery over, came back for tea. Walked into the prison and saw the men at meals Had a most gorgeous arm- set. After dinner Mr. walked down to Mr. Chambers house and he gave me a concert on his vi- olo.

114 Sab. Oct. 16 My state-room was so hot that I went up on deck and slept as much as possible with my corn mouth. Woke up early and had tea and my bath and breakfast at 8.30. I spent most of the forenoon in watching the blemons with their plants in press; helped Mrs. blemens with some of the ferns. We got into Sandaker C.M.S. between 12 and 1 and came up to the wharf. Dr. Osme and another gentleman called on us. After tiffin my mouth became so painful that I walked up to Dr. Osme's house; had tea with him and the warm tea caused the ulcers in my mouth to break giving me great relief. Later we went out for a walk and saw many interesting plants and I collected two Lygodiums; came home with Dr. Osme for dinner; Mr. Led a little chat on botanical things and then he came down to the boat with me. The Dr. is a most interesting and charming man.

Had Tea and wrote up my diaries and had breakfast at 9.30! started out almost immediately and took the road leading down the coast; found many of the ferns in common with the P.D.; got a very interesting afternoon ? in a lime stone car.

Baptain killed a long snake about 6 feet, a most beautiful green. Everything was most interesting. I found some fine specimens of Lygodium dichotomum? and a few other interesting forms and one little tree which we think may be the mistletoe tree. I left the Blemens in the field and came home and laid my back before tiffin. Went out in the matin quarters in the afternoon and did a little sleeping; got my coat fixed and some money changed and wrote some letters. We sailed for Kudah ab about 6.30. I put my plants in press after dinner and went to bed on deck at about 10.

117 Tues. Oct. 19 I was awake again the sunrise which was very beautiful. We came into Rundah at about 10; saw a Chinese junk in the harbor. Roberts the wireless man took Mrs. Thorne from a fellow passenger and myself down the beach and showed us & over the wireless station, which was not working on acct. of Rajah Beroth's birthday. There was an avenue of Pithecolobium dulce and Barringtonia trees along the way. I collected a few rock plants; two Euphorbices, a Eustolaria and one wild currant vine. After tiffin the bloomers and I went crab on the hillside; I found the place covered with a puzzling Lygodium dichotomum? also collected a few other ferns, a jasmine and a composite. Gathered some blitorea seeds and some Littler for Roberts. Visited with Roberts for awhile after dinner and then fank my plants in green and went to sleep on deck.

118 Wed, Oct. 20 I war awak: early and had my tea on deck and caught a distant view of Prince Balm as mr came into the harbor of Jessel- ton. We anchored at about noon: finished up my packing and stayed on the boat for breakfast. Paid $58 for sixty cn. 400 cigarettes and my cwh and then mr put our things on the train and took them off at the Park House; The bthp. Lairn and I met The President on the street; they took the train to call on the Gov. Gen. but he was busy with his mail and could not see us: so many British. I spent the afternoon in getting settled, strolling around the town and doing some shopping, getting off some postals and changing the coins on my plants. I collected an acrospier and just before dark went out and collected some sedges. The Park House is a much comfortable place and we all very happy here

Thurs, Oct 31 Turned around a little in the morning but had to be cautious as I had on my last white suit. At ten the chaplain and I made our call on the Gov.-Gen.; found him a fine type of the Britisher; he was pleasant; gave us some maps of Rino Bala and a letter to the Resident. We walked home and my first collection was a member of the grape family. The chaplain stepped in to talk with the school masters and I did some collecting in a salt marsh where I got a Hyridocal and a Burmanicus. At three we called on the Resident and found him a very pleasant been showed sort of chap and offered to render us any help he could. Worked at my plants the rest of the day and collected a few things. At night Mrs. Clements and I indulged a part of Miss Gibbs report of Rino Bala. We had a fine view of Mt. Rino Bala from the Government Office.

120 Fri Oct. 22 Woke up at six and had my both. Mrs. Clements got into her overalls and we climbed up the hill to the Constantino look-out station but could not see Ring's Falls. We discovered a large swamp on the other side and made for that and found no end of interesting things; ceratopteris thalio- triches by the thousand. We waded through the swamp after redges etc. and at about 11 o'clock we were loaded down with things; Mrs. Clements wanted to continue on but decided the matter and came home. Put a few things in freezer after tiffin and then I went up through a ravine on the hill side after a certain pateris? which I found in quantities; Kept on through the jungle up to a path and followed that down to opposite the Constantino House; got some interesting ferns, a adiantum or kind say? Worked until 10.30 at my felouts and writing up my diaries

Sat. Oct. 23 It was raining when I got up but nothing daunting we fixed for it and took the 8.47 train cut to Victoria Barracks. An English- man asked of the chaplain "who the little chap was" meaning Mrs. Coleman who was in her overall and muddy boots. We walked up through the golf course, collected some sun-dew and a new form of Blechnum in a swamp. Walked through a rubber plantation and then lunch after a hill-side where we found two localities for the pitcher plants, Nepenthes gracilis, the thing we seek out for; collected many other new and interesting things. By chance we came by Mr. Roberts' house but could not stop on account of the trains. Put in plants and changed drivers and talked over things botanical. Wrote a lot of postals. The chaplain got up a press of mine by mistake, I wrote up my diaries and and I got to bed at about 11.30

Sun Oct. 24 I was awake early and heard it raining but as I have practically finished my collecting here at Jesselton, did not mind. Up at seven and had my bath and then breakfast, brought my drinks in the engine house across the street. The Clements went to Chinese seris and I walked down the track by the eastern house; collected an ixora and a few ferns; some fertile grounds of one that I have looked many times for. Also looked for shells but only found three or four. I had a stiff climb up the hill through the brakes, and then followed along on top of the ridge; got in just before one and had my bath and changed clothes. Put some plants in press and changed drinks again. Walked up to the business part of town and bought some candy. Began a letter to Lina & Dora and Frances

Mom, Oct 25 Had heavy rains during the night; was up early and went to the engine for my presses and found the whole thing a mass of cinders; a most distressing experience; later I went out and down under I managed to dig out a few things which Mrs. Coleman and I put in new presses. The Chaplain and I called on the Resident to make a few inquiries and then we did a little shopping. In the afternoon we began our preliminary packing and tying things up preparatory to the trail. I had to try paper to replace my drums. It has been shoveling work of the afternoon. Had a little chat with a fellow who has just come in from Kota Belud. In the morning I finished my letter to Ling Dora and Fan and then turned into bed at about 10.30. I begin to feel now as if I should get to King Bali

124 Tues. Oct. 26 I was up early and had my bath and before breakfast walked up on the hill and had a view of Rims Balm. Lowered after my plants and then the lotaplain and I did our final shephping. I wonder what we have forgotten, I went to the Treasury and did some money changing and also deposited some money with Darby & Co., Roberts dropped in for a chat and then I did some more packing. Took all my plants out of press. I took the 4.20 train up to the hospital station and walked up to Roberts house; we had some tea and then we had quite a long walk and nearly lost our way but got in at dark. I stayed for dinner with him and had a chat later; walked home and finished up my packing and turned in between 10 and 11. Very hot & strenuous day of it.

Wed, Oct. 27 There was much noise on the street last night and that with my thinking of our getting away disturbed my sleep. I finally got up at about 3, and was all ready with my luggage at six. We were at the beach for seven luck did not sail (The Rhino-Baly) until 8. Had break fast aboard and had a fine sail up the wash with good views of Mt Rhino Baly and arrived at Tran Han Bay, apparently no town at 11. Thus we found coolies to take our luggage and after a walk of a mile and a boat ferry we found farmers and pack cattle. "Bawfield" my man could not carry my pony and I walked fully half the way; most of it through a low swampy plain and I got pretty wet. I took the latter path of the way and we reached Bota Belud about 5 and found Mr. Beattiebury the District Officer waiting for us. Went to our house and later chaplain and I dined with him. I stayed for a chat & drink later.

126 Thurs, O.A. 28 I was up at not far from six, had my bath, a couple of & crackers for breakfast and then packed up and at eight we started with 28 coolies and 3 ponies, "Bamfield" and I. Later latter turns riding all the day. All the forenoon we rode through rolling country and at noon stopped for tiffin of sardines and crackers; my first meal and it tasted might good. We had a long stretch of rolling and more or less cultivated country but later in the afternoon it began to get more wild and rugged and our path wound around the hillsides through thick jungle. Quite late Mrs. Clements and I washed a head, and it was dark 6.45 when we got to the house at Wabago. The coolies came a little later; we had a dinner of salmon & crackers and a dessert of Macintosh Toffees

127 Fri. Oct 29 I was up at six and went to the river for my bath; We had our first rice and bacon for breakfast. I started out for Narring at about 7 leaving the Chaplain & Mrs. Blemens putting up plants. Bonfield walked with me, and carried my press; I saw many interesting things but collected almost nothing but ferns. I lunched along the way on my can of rice and bacon and did not see the blemens during the day, Bonfield and I got into Narring at about one and cleaned up the rest house and when the coulins came I found up the town, I packed my things, put my plants in press, wrote up my journal and a note to Bratterbery and had my dinner at 7. The blemens got back out in the dark and the men went out with lights for them; they got in at 8.15. I had any smoke after dinner and went to bed at about 9. Wabago to Narring 12 Miles

128 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.

Sun, Oct. 31 I was awake several times in the night with different noises and got up at six and walked at the village spring. Bought some very good bananas this morning; bought oranges & pomelo yesterday. After breakfast while the Lolemens were having family prayers I went for a little walk and collected a few ferns and a brinco It looks like a rainy day and the clouds cover King Baler. Put my plants in press and showed "Bainfield" how to change shirts. We had a picked up lunch and then I walked a little way towards Baring and collected some of the old familiar ferns and one orchid in fruit. Our "public reception room" has visitors all the time. Bought a chicken and are planning for a real dinner. "Bainfield" our cook turned us out a really fine dinner to which we did justice. Then I had my siesta and went to bed with my brother Mr.

130 Mon. Nov. 1 This is my 34th birthday. I had my usual preliminary performances this morning and at about 9 I packed up some cracker and chocolate and started out with Sampat, Hasilandi's do guide. We went straight up the hill back of the rest house until we reached the ridge, followed just under that for away and then dropped into the valley on the other side, collected a curious compositae and some more or less curious ferns. I tried to follow the stream up to the top of the spur but it was choked with dead bamboo; formed a path up to the left and I climbed up that and ate my lunch facing to Maria Parai's spur; came down away and crossed the gully and collected a marsh curious parasite? at the base of a tree. Reached terms at one a Lord of a rain. Put my plank in trees. The Chaplain has been deluged with with orchids brought in by the Duranes. Supper, smoke and bed. A delightful day.

Jan. 2 I was up early, bath, breakfast, writing up journal, changing dress and after the bleuens left I took old Sumpark and started down one of the gullies for the river; old Sumpark has seen his last days: objects to anything but the good paths and open country. I did not collect much excepting some common ferns. Goh to the river soon after 12 and had my lunch there and the rains set in very after and I had a very wet time of it; followed up the river aways and then came up of the gullies and no ferns. Saw a large mass of an epiphytic orchid (maroon & yellow) which the Dareans had been bringing into the next house. Got home at about 2. Had mere lunch, dry clothes, changed dress and did some laying. I looked after dinner, then had my smoke, looking down the Valley from my door. Was in bed before 8.

132 Wed. Apr. 3 I was awake quite early and up before six. Looked after the breakfast, changed some drains and at about 10.30 I took two small Durans with me and climbed up the ridge back of the next house and dropped down into the same valley where I went Monday but I went down the stream instead. I found quite a few ferns to collect, some of them new and others familiar. Climbed straight up out of the gully and came to the edge of a rice field where I sat down and ate my lunch, then climbed up on to the ridge again and followed it out to the end, on the top I collected my first bamboos. Reached home in time for a late lunch, then came putting plants in press, changing drains, supper, a smoke and then the writing of my journal and then to bed

133 Thurs, Dec. 4 I was awake during the night and was up early. The blaplein and I packed a few things and at 7.30 we started with Lamah as guide and three other Duncans for Lobang barr. We very soon duffield down to the river bed and followed up the streams for a long time, feeding the river many times, usually by jumping from rock to rock and found it pretty strenuous; for the sole loose from my shoe and we tied it up with a string, collected a few ferns along the river. After we left the river I found the growth much more interesting and we had some very steep climbing and at 1.30 we reached Lobang Rock, a gigantic thing which offers good shelter. We built a fire and had our lunch of rice and bacon. It rained all the afternoon and I dried the clothes. At about dark we had our dinner of rice and sardines. We fixed up our blanket roll and scrub to bed near after both under the same blankets.

134 Friday Mr. 3' Did not sleep any last night as I am used to sleeping alone. Was up at eight and went to the stream for a wash and then I had breakfast of salmon and bis- cuit but it did not go very well. The Chaplain had a great display of orchids and at 9.30 we started on the return trip to Rian. I collected quite a few forms on the first part of the trip and Chaplain found a large white orchid about 6 feet high. It did not seem so long this time before reaching the river. I made a miscalculation on a rock and landed in the river and got quite wet. We stopped 12.45 for lunch under a big rock. Near the bamboo bridge we took a trail that led up along the hillside. I was very tired when I got in. Had some tea, a bath, dry clothes, looked over some plants up here, finished my journal and then to bed. The Chaplain and I rate the trip a great success.

Sab. Nov. 6. Did not funk in as much sleep as I expected to last night and was up at daylight. After breakfast I put my new plants in green and changed drivers. Put my blankets out in the morning sunshine but we had a little rain before lunch time. I have had rather of a lazy day of it: in the afternoon I fixed up my shoes, wrote up some field labels, stood around and watched the Chaplain put up his orchids and we have had some talk with some of the herd men like Shemphah and Lamah about going to the lips of the mountains. We added cucumbers, to the list of our vegetable tables, at lunch time. We had our meal rain in the afternoon and after dinner I sat at my front door and smoked and watched the night come on. This is a wonderfully quiet and restful place.

136 Sun, Nov. 7 I was up before it was fairly light and looked after the breakfast; made a mess of the furnace and cranger which I had cooked. The Chaplain and I walked up to the newly made quarry on the hillside and then down the slope, then came back after Mrs. Clements and with three small boys we went up on the Gunnsloan Spur which we found most interesting and I brought back a lot of new ferns, saw some chestnuts and other new things. Got in at about 12 just ahead of the rain. I put my plants in press in the P.M., and changed all my drips. Then I looked after our chicken dinner which we had at about dark and then I came in at my front door and watched the lights fade in the west and the darkness come in until only my 3 cows was all that showed against the sky. Smoked cints into the darkness and then to bed.

Mon. Feb. 8 I was awak with the day again and up early. No collecting to-day but I hear had great longings to go up on the Mountain Spur where we were yesterday. It was a beautiful bright sunny morning and I improved it by putting my drives out and changing them twice which kept me very busy all the forenoon. In the afternoon I sorted out some clothes which I did not wish to take on the mountain and changed my shirts and more; In the morning Lumpok and Lamah and a "holy man" made the arrangements for our going to the top; I paid $1.75. Borne money for chickens and eggs for the spirits. Lumpok is nothing but late in the afternoon came to the house for the first time in 3 days. For dinner we had "Iladi" stalks cooked as greens, only fair. Tried to bloom stems on my ferns but it buckled them flat at my door and waited the night came on again

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.

Wed Nov. 10 I was up at 6:30 and stirred up the boys and they came all the hurry of packing up and getting off. Mrs. Clemens insisted upon drying plants and delayed packing. She and C. [illegible] left with some of the cook's at about 8 but I waited until about 9.30 to get someone carry his trunk. Had a wait near the gorge for another carly for the same thing. I found some of his glassware by the way. Early in the gorge I proceeded to fall in the river and lose the heel of my other shoe. Then it began to rain. I stopped at the big rock, where I can to have my "pepper sand factory" for a little lunch and again just before I left the river I finished it. Had the chink up to Lobang Rock in 9 down pears. Found the Clemens all dry in bed while for the trunk I blew in at about 2.45' wet, cold, cross and tired. Got into dry clothes, had dinner, songs by the Clemens for the benefit of my display of temper, a smoke and and then lied on the ground.

140 Thurs. Nov. 11 We are camped for several days and all our work is long for the new elevens We are with Pake-Rho: I long for the new elevens I could not sleep last night and was up early and after a cold break fast I got into my wet clothes and at 7.30 it's gloomier and I left at 7.30 and the captain our police from White Island looked after the civillians. We got to Town- burragan at about 10 and made a little slip and found some interesting things. The elevens left one there and I moved on slowly, and soon the rain came on and as I went higher up I got very cold and had much difficulty in climbing and getting my breath. I saw many interesting things but was so cold and wet that I did not care for plants. I sat down in the rain and ate my lunch in the rain then felt better and reached Pake- Paka at about 4. Things were very wet but I had dry clothes and soon felt better. "Banfield" was alone up and made a great fuss, said Shelock Babones, the Biplane landing mars was finished.

Fri. Nov.13 I was up early as I could not sleep on account of the cold, I had a session with "Boyfield" in regard to reform in his terms. Keeping arrangements. The Chaplains went down the trail to see about the Chinaman "Sherlock Holmes". No much breakfast and Babay, the holy man; then we went with them up to the Sacrificial Rock where they deposited raw & cooked rice, egg, cheese, lard meat etc and went over their giving of charms and called to the mountain. Toured around camp. Along about 3.30 I took my boy and went down the trail hundreds of Pamburgan to find the Schizer in a "grassy place" i col- lected some along the way and then walked until fire but could not see it. Had some most wonderful views of the Valley below and got back to camp at about 6. I looked after our chicken dinner, our chicken being the only one that survived the trip up, and then to bed.

142 Sat Nov. 13 This was the day of our ascent of Kima Balm (Pamjah, the native name) We got off at 7.30 and at the "Sacrificial Rock" the Chaplain fired a salute of 1 gun, the other shell would not go; soon we came to the Granite Cof; some of it very steep and smooth but later we followed the seams in the rocks. Had some fine views of the valley below. Stopped to collect along the way and I found a buttercup in bloom. When we came up through Lewis Dally ? we found it very cold and some what fog- gy and the natives, Sumfah, Lamah Bayay and 4 coolies sat down to consult. Lamah with the lead and at a little lake near the base of Lewis Peak we found a little sheltered nook and had our lunch of crackers, cheese and chocolate. Lamah again took its lead and we climbed to the top of Lewis Peak collecting some ferns, and almost every thing that grew; by the way. On a cairn at the peak we found

several bottles containing the records of former ascents. viz Capt Larnmouth Royal Navy and party who made the survey of the top, Miss Gibbs who made the ascent for botanical purposes. Formerly of the Forestry Bureau Manila. Maulders of the Sarawak Museum? Pilg ? and some others. It was bitter cold we deposited our "Pir Money Pickle" bottle with our record and they came clear. I found a very delicate little parsley on the way down. We packed up our plants. I had a smoke to warm me and we turned over our rain coats to Lamah Semjoh & Bayon and much regretting our entire depth of any view from the top we began to descend over the same way. We collected some by the way and I came on ahead with Lamah and my boy and got into camp at 4. A very suc- cessful trip considering the time of year and weather. Day clothes, napkin, a smoke and tea &c.

144 Sun, Nov 14 Could not sleep last night and and when I got up in the morning I found my feet, hands and eyes were badly swollen from the cold I think. Pink my plants which I had collected for the task two days in press and by that time it was noon. Again I started out with my boy and went down the trail a short distance where I found the Schizoa and collected it to my heart's content. In the forenoon I with my boy across the stream and collected a little. On my way back in the P.M. I collected but little and after coming back to camp I put all the things in press and changed shirts and waited for the lollipops for dinner while we had by candle lights. Have an enormous appetite. This is to be our last night at Paha-Paha for which I am very thankful.

Mon. Nov. 15 Slept a very little last night for the first time. There was all the confusion in breaking camp and we had what could hardly be called a breakfast. At 8.40 I started with Semphat and my boy for Lobang. I twittered at the first open place to enjoy the sunshine and collected to my hearts centent. Took it very slowly and was glad to get into the warmer altitudes. Had a wonder- ful fine view of "Pumjah". At about 5:00 feet above Numbur- naugam Semphat showed me where Ong Sui, the chaplain's china man "Sherlock Holmes" was buried. He sleeps high on the mountains which he wished to do as a pilgrimage. At Numbur-naugam I stopped for lunch and had sunshine and rain together. Found the way down my steep and slippery and I reached Lobang at 4.45. Not too dry clothes, making camp and supper of comteer and eggs, a smoke and much contentment

146 Tues. Nov. 16 I had a good sleep last night the first for some time. The swelling has not all gone out of hands & feet. I was up early and buried myself about camp all the forenoon in trying to dry clothes, papers, drinks, going through my papers and sorting out my collection of yesterday. After tiffin, with which we had an arm plant cooked as greens which the loofitans had been gathering, I began putting my plants in press. It was a most enjoyable occupation to go over the things and more; finished up at about four and had a cup of hot water. Then changed the drinks on my big press of Thise Balm plants. It began raining before noon and it poured most of the P.M. The rainiest day we have had. Bonfield cooked us some corn-mush mush for supper which we ate with milk and molasses and enjoyed very much.

Wed. Nov.17 Either the tocks or the armi greens affected my leadneys and I was up three times during the nights. Was up at about day light and after bral fork I took Sampah and my boy and we cleifiped down the Khan trail aways and then followed up a ravine until we met were aberr Lobang Rock I collected spirits a goodly number of ferns and had some tremendous steep down hill going. I pack up my plants in the afternoons which is always a pleasure. I had all my work out of the way early and looked after our supper of rice and bacon and had to wait for the elements until after dark. We had some rain in the afternoon, but it cleared up before dark. Had our supper by lantern light and sat up until 9 o'clock which is very late for me.

148 Thurs, Nov. 18 Did not sleep very well last night and was up at day- light. Soon after breakfast the chaplain, Sampath, my boy and I started over to see the falls of the Madamayan near us. We collected some on the way but I did not get a very good view. Left the chaplain and Sampath and I went up until we struck the Rambranga trail and then back to Lobang at about noon just a head of the rain. The chaplain came in later soaking wet. Had some porridge x milk for lunch. Put my plants in press in the afternoon and then began my packing up. Have been very happy ever the idea of going to Khasi for a week alone; the blemmers deciding to stop at the Lobang camping. As usual I waited supper for the chaplain until after candle light. Thank God it is my last night under present conditions

Frid. Feb. 19 Got up at midnight thinking it was morning: found the cookers cooking their stew and I wrote "Barnfield", looked at my watch and then went back to bed. Got up before daylight, did some last packing and eating breakfast to: gether, and I got off with my cookier at about 8.30 with Sumpah and my boy. Did some collecting and found the river rather high but Sumpah helped me wade where it was very swift. Stopped at the big rock and had some lunch in the sunshines. Never been so pleased with the idea of lying at Thian alone. Reached Thian at about 1.30, had some tea and rice and began to settle the things when the blemens blew in. The greatest disappointment since I began my trip. Had to change my things around the old regime of living a convenience to the blemens. Begun again. Had an early dinner, a smoke at my front doors and then bed. Not much at all happy

150 Sat. Nov. 20 I was awake very early and had a smoke while the day came in rainy and cloudy. My house- keeping for the family began again. I put in the the morning going through my presses and taking out a lot of dry things. They looked better than I expected. I had just finished up this work when Mr. Brockenbury, D.C. from Photo Belad arrived. I stopped my work for a visit with him and to look after the tiffin. Then I put up my plants that I collected the day before and finished that up at about 3.30. It has been a shivery sort of day, raining off and on. I gave up the rest of the afternoon to visiting with Mr. B and lurking after the culinary department. Mr. B. contributed soup, cured fish to our course dinner and I fried some mush. B. and I had a little chin over some Whiskey and water before going to bed.

Lunn, Nov. 21 We did not get up so very early and took some time with our breakfast. After breakfast Buckley held an auction and sold off of our late, the dead Cluing- man's (Sherlock Holmes) things: I bid in his blue coat for my boy, B. left me soon after and then I took lunch and a boy and went up on the Sundown Spur and did a lot of collecting. Found Nelmin's heartache? and several other good ferns. Did not get back until after lunch time and so I finished up the rice and chicken left over from break- fast. I put my plants in frass and had a big lot of them. It has been rather rainy and windy and I worked with my clever stuff. We had an early dinner. I tried to write up my note by candle light but never got it up and went to bed.

152 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.

Tuesday Aur. 23 Was in such a cramped place last night that I could not sleep. Sat up and watched the fire and roused the camp up at 5.15'. We had some hot breakfast and got into our smoke dried clothes. Went back up to the open spur and then Sumpah let us go into the jungle instead of showing us the trail. Finally found the trail and we climbed up to about 7000? and at 10 turned back to camp. I found another fine and chewy repenter. We had some cold lunch and packed up and at 11.45 I started for home. Had but little rain on the way back and the trail was the best we ever had. I did almost no collecting and got into Thian at 3.30. Had my bath, then a chicken dinner, then bologna and I settle up finances and then we all wrote up our notes by candle light. I notice a change in the Coleman's attitude

154 Wed. Nov.24 I was rather restless last night with the noises and was up and had a smoke before day light. As soon as breakfast was over I went through all my drawers and took out the dry things and changed drapes on the other. By that time it was a stop for only tiffin. First I had Sampath help me fix my dry things for shipping and then put my Marai-Parai things in press and was about tired out when I got through. It has been a beautiful sunshiny day all day, the first one we have had at Kiam. I settled up all my financial obligations with the natives turning over the house-keeping to the Chaplain. I wonder if they will claim to death. My last day at Kiam, a place I have liked so much. The Kiam Whip-poor-will sang to me as I sat by my door for my last smoke after a very good dinner. Sampath presented me with a case to the little knives I brought.

Thurs. Nov. 25 Thanksgiving Day. I was stirring early this morning and after an early breakfast I finished up my packing and chaplain, and Mrs. Clemens came down the trail a little way at 7.30 as I said my farewell to them. Even the whole world gave me a farewell Would love to live a year at Kiam if I could be alone. It has been a bright and beautiful day and I went dropped down the mountain with my boy and six coolies (3 misty) crossed the river high up the stream and came into Kiam a different way from which we work up: more attractive. Reached K. at 10.15 and had a little lunch and a smoke. Then I packed changed my dress out in the sun, collected a few ferns, two new ones as far as I can tell and that her made up my day. Somehow there is a slily that I am alone. Had a dinner of rice and sardines. I lovely myself on Kiam-Bala, like the "Kelpine Blows" and then to bed never after dark.

156 Fri Nov. 26 Was cold during the night and got an extra blanket. Was up at 3 and stirred up the coals pocketed up, had breakfast and was off for Tibay at seven. It seems good to have a wide smooth trail and more. I stopped all along to collect, some inter- esting Delaginella, some new ferns, one a Tranty and quite new to me and as I came to the next house at Tibay a new Lycopodium for me. The Rest House looked more attractive in the sun in comparison to my first impressions after dark and the freshness of my supper. It has been clear and bright, hot for the fifth time for weeks. Lunch, a bath in the river and then fishing with falcons took up most of my afternoon. It was waining for a time but finally cleared up.

Sah. Feb.27 I had a smoke before daylight and was up soon after five, packed up first and then had breakfast and left Tribays for Phota Belud at 7. I walked for the first two hours up over the ridge and down to a little stream, shady and very beautiful. At about 9 I took the ferry and rode and my boy as well as the one in case of the horse dropped behind. It was hot and fine in the sun. I got into the rest house at 11.30 and and waited for my boy to come with my lunch. Left there shortly after one and reached Phota Belud at 3.30. Mr. Brockenbury (P.B.) is away but I took possession of his house. Had afternoons tea seemed mighty good, fixed up some specimens, went to the office and then wrote up my notes did a little fore- liminary packing and then drunk to bed. Am pretty well tired out and can a little more from riding

158 Sun, Nov.2t I was up at about 3.30 armed up the boy, had my bath and made a breakfast off of tea, bread and jam. Had to wait for the cycle to bring the horse and for the coolies to pack up and set off at 7.20. Walked for an hour and a half over the foothills and collected two flowers and some fruit of Sandenia Merrillii and a Lygodium, they rode the pony in to Tenghilan which I reached at 12.30 and expected to meet Bracherbury but heard he had changed his mind. Had lunch and waited for coolies until 2.45, then took a boat down through the mangrove swamps, a little rain in the meantime; reached Tajaw at 3.15 and found a pony x coolies waiting for me and I rode into Tumaran in about an hour, crossing one deep river in a boat. I stopped with Mr. Beck D.C.? whom I found most hospitable. Had a drink, and bath and then we had dinner together and a chat. It has been a most frightfully long day and I am about as tired as any day of my trip

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

160 Tues. Nov. 30 I was stirring early and had tea and work in my room. Opened up papers of [illegible] things, fixed up some laundry, wrote some cards, then to the P.O and took the 10 o'clock train to Gov. House paid my respects to the His Excell- ency J.W. Fraser the Kt. Gov. He loaned me his copy of Marmont's reports of the different ascents of Tirira Bals, brought the train back and they called on Mr. E.H. Barrett the Resident. They came to the Res House and put all my work clothes and traps out in the sun and from that time on I put in a very hard afternoon's work at my spec- imens and made quite a little progress. Went and did a little shop- ping and finished reading Marmont's reports. Tr[illegible] to write up my notes in the morning but I was so tired out that I gave it up and went to bed.

Wed. Dec 1 Waz up at six and had tea & toast in my room, later a bath and breakfast. Put some driins out in the sun and then went up on the hill opposite to collect a fern which I had burned in the fire. Got into an awful jungle and was awfully tired when I got back. Put the plough in faren and changed driirs all the rest of the forenoon. Had some fairly good rain, and made progress in getting things in shape. Went up to the P.O and thus met one of my fellow passen- gers on the Ring Bals who in- vited me out to dinner but I had to decline. Had a sprinkle early in the P.M. Went to Darby and Co and bought my tickets to Sandlater; found that my boat is to be a little late. Took it easy in the P.M. and read "Catherine's Child" by Mrs Henry de la Parture. I was rather tired and went to bed at 10.

162 Thurs. Dec. 3 Was rather restless and was up in the night; it was cold enough for a blanket some of the time. Was up at 6 and enjoyed the luxury of tea & toast in my room. After breakfast I took some plants out of press and also took out those I had in my trunk which smell very sweetly, Had good news and made much progress and after tiffin I put the bark of them in press, thank heaven. Some of them are rather badly damaged. I walked up to the Mission School to see the teacher about developing some pictures for the Chaplain; found him an insufferable frig tub just the work to suit the Clemens collected a couple of beans and then did some shopping. Had some crackers and milk in the evening, a luxury I could not have in the mountains. After tea I undressed and loved. Put on my clothes for dinner and wrote to Roberts and began my letter to the Chaplain

Fri. Dec. 3 I was awake early and up before daylight, had my tea and work in my balcony; furred a little with plants, had breakfast at 7.30 and took the 8 o'clock train to Victoria Barnes, walked by the new course and collected a lot of the Blechnum in the swamp and then around through the rubber plantations and saw the sap (latex) running, then came around by Mr. Roberts house which was shut up, ran to catch a train and then found I was an hour off in looking at my watch Got home never after ten, put some plants out in the sun & then had my cup of crackers and milk. After tiffin I went down the sea shore after a Lindraya and found a little fern, a something like a Lepidodendron. Put my plants in press before tea. Had some heavy rains in the P.M. The Mission School teacher brought back two films with 11 failures. Wrote a little more in my letter to the Chaplain, Wrote up my sister and then to lid, a very tired individual.

164 Sat. Dec. 4 I was up at 6.10 and had my tea and toast and then breakfast at 7.30. At eight I went up over the hill and dropped down into the garden patch where Mrs. bloemers and I made one day; I collected 3 relegirellas, 3 ferns, one pipe work, an umbellum shrub and a banhina; was very tired when I got back. Push some clothes and specimens out in the sun and they had some bread & milk. Began my general packing, then ground away at specimens some more. Went up town and after tea I began packing up my specimens for good; finished them up and had my belt before seven. I constantly have the fear that the Bloemers will come on to Jerusalem and go back on the same boat with me. I wrote up any notes & planned to go to the P.O. with some letters but the electric light [illegible] went to bed at 9.

Sunday Dec. 5 I was up as usual by day light with tog and work in my room and then breakfast at 7.30. At eight I went up over the hill again and dropped down the other side of the swamp and picked up a few things including 3 Lygodiums which brings my numbers up to 602; have no more desire to collect unless I see a new fern. The trees (Spathodes campan- ulata) with their red blossoms in front of the west house at a joy to me. The Selanger came into harbor as I was having tiffins; packed up nearly everything and then walked down to see Capt. Campbell and find she sails to-morrow at 3.30. Changed dress again, Bought some cards and wrote them opened up a bundle of specimens and changed dress. Layed around and took it rather easy: had any dinner about seven and then over to bed.

166 Mar. Dec. 6 Had some heavy rains in the night, I was up before day- light, had my tea and went up stairs and then breakfast. The first thing in the morning I finished up my packing, then went to the P.O., and the R.Ry. station for the train, to stop for my luggage; had rains and then suns all the afternoon, and it was fairly clear at 12.15 when I took my luggage to the boat. A great load off my mind. I came back to the Perth House for tiffin, then settled up my bill (did not take the head boy as a clerk of the poor servant) and then, waited for the rain to stop; walked down to the Belanger at about 3.30, changed my clothes and then had some tea. The Cofh. had a big party but I did not join it. We sailed for Bundaberg shortly after six; it is quite rough and I was a little uncertain inwards the course of dinner; the storm is getting very bad. To bed at 10.

Tues. Dec. 7 Had a horrible night of it with the thunder, lightning, wind, rain, and the noise of the boat; I think the boat was anchored during part of the night. Daylight was a great relief. Ate tea, went to bed at 6.30 and as I had tendencies towards sickness, my breakfast also and finally got up at 10.30 and had my bath & dressed. We got into Tondah, in a very wind storm at about 12, and it has been terrific all the after- noon with spells of rain: it is the tail of a Philippines typhoon. I wrote there for a few minutes in the afternoon and bought some post cards but it was so windy there was no pleasure in walking. Only one of the British passengers speaks to me - I neither want to borrow money nor an invitation to dinner I am very thankful we are tied up to the wharf rather than at sea. Watched the storm from deck while glis dinner and then to bed

168 Wed. Dec. 8 The storm howled pretty much through the night but died down some towards morning. Was restless during the night and was up by daylight. Had tea and work on deck; and we sailed for Sandakan at about 7. I felt lazy and tired and went back to bed and had breakfast there at about nine and got up and had my bath and dressed at 10.30. Loafed on deck until tiffin time. The clouds broke away in the morning and there has been quite a little sunshine but high wind and rough sea. We sighted the Bogayan Sulu Islands in the afternoon. It has been merely a day of rest and plain loafing: had a few little chats with a Mr. Maxwell-Wall, Dr. Osme's friend I sat up on deck in the evening and had my solitary smoker until about 10 o'clock, was close to some small islands and then to bed.

169 Thurs. Dec. 9 We anchored ash in the bay at Sandakan about 11 o'clock last night. I was up early and had tea as such with Mr. Maxwell-Wall. Had my bed, dressed early and wrote letters and bought some post cards before breakfast. The boat, and I had the meal alone. I took some specimens out of green, then went to Darby & Co. and bought my tickets. Then went around and called on Mr. Matthews & Dr. Foxworthy - changed some money and called at the office of "Nerald" and then Foxworthy took me up to the house and Matthews & Dr. Orme joined us at lunch - a very delightful meal. I went down to the boat and Dr. Orme & Foxworthy came down for tea. I collected a little Ophidogymnum in Matthews garden. I saw some of the Cari's Firtula in blossom. We sailed for Jolo at about 6. I am the only 1st class passenger. The boat and I dined together, had a little chin on deck later and then to bed.

170 Friday Dec. 10 I was up at about my usual time and had tea on deck and breakfast later. Loafed on deck and looked at the white sanded tracked islands and longed to explore them: also spent some time looking over English picture papers. Soon after noon we sailed Jolo and after medical inspection we got up to dock at 3 p.m. Work arbor after tiffin and hunted up a barber. Met, Major Chapman & Capt. Ritts, shipper of the Gilberts: tried to get passage to Manila on her but failed, so Major Chapman agreed to send me on the Transport on Monday. Went aboard the Delago and packed up my things & with them to the Jolo Hotel and then walk and called on the Fanes and stayed for dinner and spent the whole evening: a most hospitable couple. I went back to the hotel at about 10.30, a most un- inviting place run by an Austrian lion woman, and then to bed,

Sat, Dec 11 I was awakes early took the marine gun, nearly scared the life out of me, I war up fairly early and had a rotten break- fast. I opened up a couple of bundles of specimens and found them all O.T. Then I started down to the club and met Major Chapman and spent the rest of the afternoon in shaking dice for the drinks and listening to stories. Came home at about six and had some tiffin and then took a long siesta; had a bath but I doubt whether any cleanliness was gained. I loafed around until time for dinner which was some later. After dinner I sat out as the maraudah and at about 9 I strolled down to the wharf and over to the club where a loaf was on. Met the former (Rother) and a lot more officers; more dice and some drinks. Got to bed about 11.

172 Sun. Dec. 12 I was awake at about 8am rise and God too and went in my room and breakfast. Later, I put in practically all the ferns going through my specimens and found only one bundle with any such ever in and I dried these cut in the sun. Walked around by the dub but it was very quiet there. I finished up my speci- ments after lunch, wrote up my notes, read a little, played some solitaire and about five walk around and called on the Fours and stayed for a cold Dutch supper and then Mr. played some cut throat bridge at which I won out. Had quite a heavy shower late in the P.M. I walked around by the dub on my way home. but it was practically deserted so I looked over a magazine or two and then home and to bed.

Mar. 20. 13 I was awak and up early and had tea and wash in my room, breakfast later and then I did my final packing, It has been rainy much all of the forenoon, was forced to read the Sat. Evening Post and play solitairs to fill the time, Wandered down to the club and began the old thing of shaking dice for the drinker which was broken up by the Transport "Merritt" coming in at noon, Walked down to the wharf and then back to the hotel for tiffin. Got my luggage down without any rain and then Dr. Clark, a friend of Ballin's [illegible] and I went back to the club and they came meet drinks until time for the Transport to sail. Said good bye to the former. We sailed soon after 5: Major & Mrs. Simmons brought me some brans for dinner, Watched a bridge game in the evening & got to bed about 11.

174. Fare Dec 14 Did not sleep very well last night but could only get my bath until 6.43' thin dressed and had my break fast. It has been a very bright clear day and a smooth sea. I looked over some Literary Digests in the morning and then spent the rest of the forenoon watching a bridge game, Read a little more in the afternoon, watched more bridge and took a rista and then changed my clothes for dinner. It is no long between meals that I get constantly hungry. Have no ambition to do anything but watch the bridge games and eat up until after 11. It has been just a plain lazy useful day

Wed. Dec. 13 I was aways before daylight and had some chocolate and a smoke and then my took at 6.30. I miss very sorely tea very much. Was very hungry and went to breakfast as soon as dressed. Home had no ambition to ever used we watched a bridge game awhile and then took a little rest with my clothes on. In the afternoon it was much the same thing over again; watched more bridge and then undressed and had a long lazy time of it and barely get up in time to change some clothes for dinner. It has been quite calm and smooth all day, just a little rain in the morning. We are in sight of land this P.M. - Lungen & Minders & stuck.
