L.21. P.10 and about 300 metres (I think) limestone. There was also a little conglomerate. Down up top got five men of Blucher & Karik. The original Blücher delivery station was pointed out to me by the sergeant. (Our new friends (Seno) fairly flooded me with Taro. So much so that I had to sign to them to bring them in to the new camps tomorrow. [Hint: that order is conveyed] I'll leave to your imaginations.) I'm pretty sure that we can use the food, but I don't want my boys to have to carry it. It has been a big day - find 500 meters down to 190 and up once more to 500 (which is the reading at 7.15 pm.). And I think the shot out has taken off many a mile. The rain started early tonight, about 5.30. Well we should reach linkia fairly soon tomorrow, and then let's hope the radio works efficiently. I have just taken the approximate bearing of Mt. Melbin and find that we are just about S.S.E., it which makes our position even better. Just below camp a landslide has at some time swept down - the debris is all limestone. Melbin itself towers above us for another couple of thousand feet. My boys appear entirely happy over in their tent - fly - as least they are singing away lustily. They know too that tomorrow is the last day and it short me too. Friday, July 10. Heavy rain till midnight. Misty but clearing this a.m. Paracuta 480 m. Blücher bears just S.E. from this camp. The villagers came on brought me half a boiled Taro. They call Mt. Blücher 'Die'; the names Melbin and Karik stand; S.D.E is pronounced 'Sall.' I got old Champion's linkia vocabulary tried it on them. Most of it works... Rode from this camp bears S.S.E. Left 8.45, arrived camps 10.45. The track led up through extensive Taro gardens and along the south side of Melbin. A bit later it began to climb steeply and the end of the second hour saw us at the big clearing which willis is still enlarging (note that at least I have a new sheet of carbon paper and can go back again to printed paper). Drank 3 cups of cocoa & some Senos - while we
