Journal 59 Gueveja, Darien Prov., Rep de Panama Sept 24th to finish everything tomorrow. Still no rain. Definitely a nail shortage for this time of year. Sept 25th I finished everything from yesterday, made plans for a possible view from Dr Pearson or Ward Russell. Spent afternoon (late) seeing if arrangements would be made. # 59-1 from house in town. Small beer pain for about 15 minutes. Now we have a little more drinking water than we did. If we don't get anymore barrels we can go up river tomorrow or the next day. It makes a difference if one goes with the tide instead of against it. The trip from 4 to 6 hours depending on amount of current (how much) tidal watching. Relaxed in the afternoon a little. Sept 26th overcast, no rain, warm as usual. Wrote Dr Pearson about possibility of his & Ward Russell's coming. Have no idea of their possible response. With out knowing someone here, collecting would cost a fortune in time or money. It is necessary to have boat motor, someone who knows the river, the Indians of their ways. Pete Halety does not has been a fantastic help. For this reason I asked if the museum if they wanted to send someone down. A shame to waste
