The canoes and all of the Dyaks with the four soldiers who accompanied the transport up left at eight this morning. I sent the wire to Prince but also had Lieut. Korteman’s name on it in case Prince should be on his way up. Inside and sealed was the wireless message which had on the envelope to be delivered to Radio Station N.G.E. I also wrote a note to the wireless man {F3.73} asking him to send up the information on when it was received and sent on the first transport. If Prince is there it is to be delivered to him so he can take care of it. Dick and I went hunting in the afternoon but didn’t get anything. We saw and heard numerous Birds of Paradise but only one she [sic] which was not worth shooting at. It is only the males who have the beautiful plummage [sic]. We went out on the trail which leads to upper head camp. It is an up and down proposition and the woods are full of leeches.
