Sunday aug. 8 (Cont'd) The flying ambulance is a public service supported by contributions from people living in the bush, and no doubt subsidized in part by government. A contribution of 2/6 a week entitles one to the service, also one's family. A good insurance for dwellers in these remote places. This morning we had a visit from the police - a constable and two black trackers mounted on good horses, and without a wea on between them. Some person or persons raided the airport (14 miles away) while the groundsman was in town for the races and got away with 16, 50-gal. drums of gasoline. Old Joe Fisher is suspected, and the policeman is looking for evidence. Final arrangements made for our horse outfit with Alan Petersen, head stockman for Thompson, who rode out to see me. Five pack horses and four riding horses, with gear, in charge of blackboy Alf Young, will leave early in the morning for the old battery site on the Peach River.
