During the afternoon some of the men off the "Matanga" came out to the oupost & photgraphed us for the Sydney "Mail"
The boat landed stores for two months. It brought news chief and of most interest was that Color sergeant L[indecipherable] had been arrested in Rabaul on nine charges & had been sent to Sydney with a "month" in view.
Monday 2nd of Nov
The "Matanga" sailed at three oclock. Shot another pig. This was a fine bit of excitement We wandered along a narrow pig track into a scrub such as we had never seen before It was impossible to see a foot off the track. The luxuriance of the vegetation ,& its rare beauty could be equalled in no other part of the world with the African & Amazonian jungles taken into account. Although the place fairly stank of pig we could not see any coming out into the clearing. we ran into a number, however which took to their heels on out appearance. Hynes
