Picked up traps in p.m. but the mules did not come after all. So we had to wait until next morning. Fri. Jan. 22. Set away with the mule-loads about 9 a.m. Reached "the depot" at about 10.30 & waited for the 2nd truck to take us on to Itiki'. Truck came with a load of rubber done up in bales of 100 lbs-each about 11 o'clock. We loaded up & started off, reaching Itiki' at 1 p.m. Road soon leaves the savanna & eucalypt country & enters what formerly was heavy forest but is now converted into clearings, pastures & rubber plantations. Passed a very fine house (Koiteki) owned by Sifton. Jhumines gaites along the switchback road to confine stock. Soil slipped red earth. Quantities of Perukene grass in clearing along roadsides. Was met at Itiki' (B.N.G. Co), very large rubber station. W. Godson (in Cleys) was away. But met Ws + Ms + Miss Brewster and W. Cay. He latter invited me to stay at his house where, temporarily I now am, at least until I get my bearings. Too late after getting over a large ridge to Cay's house & carrying baggage across for boys to set traps out. Sat. Jan. 23. Fair weather. Barometer 8. a.m. 450 meters (69.55) = 1800 feet.
