Had oatmeal for breakfast first time in many weeks and oh boy how good it tasted. Umpah was saving the one tin we received and served us just a little. Was a nasty rainy cloudy morning and most of day. Busied getting food for trip and packing things. Dyaks and Dick went up small river[,] hunting and fishing. Returned with one flying fox and many fish. Heard some Papuans and evidently they {F3.31} have returned. Water continues to rise and lower parts of camp flooded again, but we can walk around camp yet on boards from last flood. Hoffman[,] who had second attack of fever coming up feeling better today although still taking quinine. Made up a large tin of medicines for us for use [on] our trip. Selected our four Dyaks. Some not anxious to go but we have four good men including one old head. Will leave tomorrow if river is not too high. Transport also leaving tomorrow for Head Camp. Saleh will go and Hoffman will wait until the next one. Rained during [the] evening but before dark we got [a] little glimpse of mountains and saw snow mountains again for [a] little while. Not as good as before. First time in weeks we have even had a glimpse of foothills. Panarama [sic] very pretty with cloud affects [sic]. {F3.32}
