August 2nd ——————— "I worked all afternoon dividing the collections and labelling them..." ——————— We made a few sketches of the houses this morning and continued downstream. Just before reaching the mouth of the river we came on Dick and Stan with some Dyaks fishing. We kept on and reached camp about 2 P.M. I worked all afternoon dividing the collections and labelling them preparatory to packing, finishing just before a thunder storm broke and drove us all to bed as the only place to keep dry.
