CONTENT:
Ludlow - 80. This morning we found that all
the Lobas had run away and hid themselves in
the jungle rather than come down to Dheyuri to
meet us.
We saw a bluebird and a pair of rose finches.
It came on to rain hard about an hour before
we reached camp. We were so cold that
we sipped rum and ginger wine whilst
waiting for the kettle to boil.
