L.21, P. 12 a message to the effect that we move out of Loe Thursday morning commencing to relay Ford over to Blucher where I hope to pick up a few more mammals. We are also afraid that with the rivers mostly low the plane will probably not be able to get up beyond Palmer Junction camp (our original landing place), even if she can go so far. Consequently we shall have to re-fit down to meet her. One species in traps last night - a Pelmoy, opposite the same as that at Black River. A decided scarcity of birds here. Have trap collecting insects, but can't use my light trap because I scarcely get gasoline while I need for my radio. The day once more quite good though some rain in night, and the Palmer jags clouded over below us. Baro too is quite correct. Barometer (9 a.m.) 780 m. The local name of the Loe is Wei Tungong; Surprise Creek is Wei Tam Angie; Unknown river (the bounds surprise creek) Wei Tamar. Got through to V.G (Port) at 11 a.m about seven. Then made contact with Loe (the Guinea Airways station). They are to get weather from me tomorrow at 5.30 a.m. & if all well one of their planes will bring us in 12 or lbs rice. Have been mapping this p.m. Weather misty & turning now to rain, hope it will clear before morning however. The map on the page following is based on the combined observations of Healy, Willis and myself. The ships are not corrected for magnetic deviations. Weather poor from half to one; afraid raining still setting in. Monday July 13. Heavy rain all night; rivers full; fog near today. Up at 4.30 to get printer started & in hope for Loe contact. Strong Morse stills interfered until 6 o'clock after which we got through without trouble. Flight just forced on account of bad weather, will call Loe again tomorrow. In touch Archibald 7.30; Port Moreaby 8 a.m & 11.15 a.m. Sent article of situation & alternatives if I please unable get in on Wednesday at latest.
