we (Bress + D) had put on directly she came had been released once & when we retightened it we told the men to walk her up & down a bit. They walked her alright, but straight to a canoe back to the island. So as I couldn't let her stay there with a tourniquet tight on her arm there was nothing to do but he rowed across after them & took the thing off. When I got to there I found her in a fairly warm hut & with pulse string & rather faster (perhaps due to the sun). Told her to lie down & go to sleep. The dogs had already been buried they said. Why? This morning she is said to be quite alright. The snake was not killed. Twelve mammals in the traps: 3 Phascolarctos, + Melomys musculus, 5 Rattus leucopus (all from the savanna). Both from the 60 traps in the front. Am making up only six, including the Phascolarctos. Some were obviously caught yesterday. Went down about 11 o'clock with the Sakis who were going to Rand's camp to fetch Healy back. Three big canoes, the one was in very wide enough to put one of our folding chairs into. Crews of 6 or 7 Sakis in each canoe. They put their backs into paddling & we slipped along at close on 5 miles per hour. I took some pictures of them at it. The way leads over pass through a forest & has been used so much lately that the swamp grass is beaten & churned by paddling that there is not a narrow lane 3 feet wide (see photos.) Found Rand's camp Kakati, a rather poor place - low & wet though among trees. He has found a nest of one of the birds of paradise. The place was alive with mosquitoes. Walked out into the wet savanna. Lots of sun-dew & fiddle-leaf plant there. Signs of pig & wallaby. My boy Kandovic had 10 mammals there, but nothing
