L. 21. P. 14. Opened a certain tin of canned orange-peel at lunch while was duly appreciated a note of thanks offered to manufacturer present! This brings news was interesting - four stations; Port Hardy, Darn, Lae and ourselves working together. Dick has had trouble with his receiver at Darn. But anyhow we received his telegraphed message via Port answering our "two alternatives" The plane, weather permitting will come via Mt Hagen air field, as if another drop were here will drop it to send at Black R. Tuesday, July 14. Started sending to Lae at 5.30, 6.00, 6.30 Got OK at 6.30 but plane had just taken off. Just orange ain't cutting logs in rapto to see to re-send to Rogers in plane. Talked to Port at 8.10. Weather at Moresby said to be improving. Even here it looks a shade better. Plane will take a little more than storms to get here (or to Black), and I don't whether it will be clear enough to deliver to Prebin. In such case we must look for the nice to go to the Black. Have broadcasted to Rogers twice already & go on again in 5 minutes. Not much for lift, though. Last night the storm needed a pitch - high wind and torrents of rain - so every stream is full. I only hope the Palmers has not overflowed the camp at Black River. Nothing in traps. Well. The plane came outland at 10.10 and stayed for 20 minutes trying to find a way down to us. I talked to Rogus but of course don't get know whether he heard me. She has now (10.45) probably gone on to Black Paris to stay to deliver there. The weather which was opening up a little has again closed down on us. We learned that she put back to Lae (the plane is a tri-motored Ford) at 2.15. About 5 o'clock to our with amazement we saw two men with a boy (all blacks) coming up the clearing with Dick
