This evening at 5.15 Archbold picked up fragments of a broadcast by Archbold to the effect that the "Raina" has not turned up yet & they are having very bad seas along the coast. The "Goodwill" came in instead because she turns her nose & won't have enough until the "Paperman Chief" brings a supply about July 27th. We have food here until August 1st I think any way. 6 p.m. weather clearing. 10 p.m. heavy rain! Wed. July 22. Got things to Dave and "Port" + reported arrival of ourselves, that we were sending carriers back this morning for Willis, & that we had food to last till August 1st. Port reported the "Raina" overdue. Drying boxes and packing specimens most of day. Evening, overheard Archbold + Port Murray: the "Raina" had just arrived. They will rig wireless on her and both Archbold and Tustedt will leave with her on Friday. Rain falling again tonight. Boys have been cutting logs all day - I quite a lot ready for use. 48 large logs required. Thurs. July 23. Packed boxes for Middle Fly. In truck Dave and VIG. In p.m. set 10 steel traps. The boys now have about 40 logs cut for the rafts. Fairly clear day till 3 o'clock - then rain. Fri. July 24. Once out but no rains. Things are dead clocks so far as collecting goes. The boys are all busy getting out raft timber & the white people are planning future moves. The present plans, subject to Archbold's approval is to make two at p.m. on the way down the
