No damage done though. Pintso is rather peeved that he always gets less than Dawong if they are given guns. So he has taken out the .22 rifle and swears he will bring in some Pnoepygas somehow.

If I ever come again, I will most certainly take Dawong with me.

26th Sept. Halted. Lagnabi - A good day with very little rain in the middle of the day. Sent Pintso and Dawong down to Trashingangsi. Dawong found all the potted flowers growing and sprouting new leaves. Ludlow fixed up some box sections for packing birds up. We have collected over
