<p>Tues Oct 26<sup>th</sup> This morning, after an early breakfast Dr. Strong and Shattuck left with much confusion for Bashman’s town where they worked today. Hal and I in the meantime stayed over to get our luggage when it came in and to trans ship it directly to the next step. But as nothing happened all morning we sat on our doorstep and wrote in a desultory manner. Most of the time, however, was spent on idle conversation about our lives in the past, the present and the future; our ambitions and sour fears; our sweethearts (so many) and our foes (so few). Really, it was a charming morning. We sent for banana’s but search how they would none were forth coming and we had to content ourselves with a bit of sugar cane.</p>
<p> But about 2<span style="text-decoration:underline;">00</span> our vigil was over and the men started to arrive in small groups of 2 or 3 men each. Most of them left their loads at the waters edge having travelled far and fast and being tired. Then where they neared the town and heard the ominous wailing they quickened their pace, broke into a run – and with fresh lungs disappeared into the home of the deceased. It was possible to count the incoming men without seeing them. Later they would report to us. About this time I got a message from Strong asking me to take a photo of a gangosa patient in a nearby half town. So packing up my cameras I departed leaving Hal alone to his tasks. However, when I got there the natives solemnly informed me that she had left – after Strong had been there- how long? Oh 4 or 5 days trip. I returned to Towya but met Hal on the way – all the loads had arrived and he was bringing the last ones over with him. Everything OK.</p>
<p> At Bashman’s town we found <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">the</span> Dr. Strong and Shattuck entrenched in a house with no walls while we were to occupy it neighbor (with one wall torn out for ventilation. Of course there was much confusion and bustle not aided by Chief Bashmans presence. But finally all the men were paid off and things quieted down. Hal and I then set to work – chlorinated the water, got out chop and repacked the food supplies which had been delayed in the bush. Then a bath – clean clothes and supper. After that the interpreter to the chief came over – talked about the weaknesses, perfidity and untrustiness of Liberians in general the Chief in particular – and then idlley asked if we had any tobacco. Of course he would help us. As this was not the first time this has happened we were not disturbed. Then the Chief came over and told us that his men had shot a bush hog at our request. As they hadn’t had time to bring it in we must wait over the next day. No dice. He thinks that we ought to stay at least a week in respect to his high rank.</p>
<p> But one last thing before I close the book on Towya. The Chief there had a most charming little tumor <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">under</span> below his arm pit upon which Strong immediately set his heart. He looked at it, wiggled it and audibly sighed. First came – “of course you will let us remove it.” This was flatly refused. Next day we offered free lessons in microscopic work – we cajoled, we threatened we vowed he would die – and still he coyly refused to part with that most cherished lump. And this morning a final attempt was made to get the cherished treasure – But all art has failed – and the grey haired little man stilling boasting a whole, if nobby, skin. </p>

<p>Mon Oct 25<sup>th</sup></p>
<p> Today we have gone aroving – without very much success. At about 9<span style="text-decoration:underline;">00</span> Hal and I – after constructing a shelter for Dr. Strong to work under, gathered some half dozen sturdy paddles and descended to the river crossing. On our way we passed a beautiful leopard track in the mud of the trail – absolutely perfect. When we got to the river we found that the canoe tho large would not accommodate us and all our crew – so we let some go retaining 4 paddles, Willie (Dr. Shattuck’s boy) and ourselves. But our cruise upstream was short lived and without much success. For scarcely a quarter of a mile was put behind us when the current grew too swift and progress was blocked. This was a bit annoying as they had told us that they knew the river well. After this- as we were drifting down stream they offered to take us that way but no relishing the idea of walking back we spurned their generous offer. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Our next</span> Our next attempt at amusement was more successful when viewed in this latter light. Two of our crew told us that there was a farm nearby which had been deserted due to the prevalence of “baboon”. We therefore <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">got </span>armed ourselves and went forth – I with a shotgun. We quietly followed our guides thru shady trails and across small swamp streams for about 1 ½ miles to finally come out into a grass grown clearing in which a few tall trees reared their heads. A small clearing with some oil palms growing in it – and dense jungle surrounding. As there were no baboon to be seen we sent our guides off to look for them while we resting our backs against a big root sat and talked in the shade. – It was a pleasant day slightly hazy but bright, and as we talked we could see monkeys playing thru the tall trees which skirted the field. Big Diana monkey for the most part which we watched thru the glasses. But all pleasant things come to an end – and we had to return for lunch. </p>
<p> Just before we got to the town we could hear much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Evidently some one had died, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">and</span>, which, when we were got into town we verified. A middle aged lady had contracted septic infection following a recent child birth for whom with our limited medical supply on hand (the rest being in the bush) we could do nothing. And now the whole town was howling – high howls, low howls, and medium howls, without order or cadence. And it continued. We lunched amidst it, it lulled Hal and me to our siestas while Dr. Strong and Shattuck went over to call on Chief Bashman; it tried to down our conversation after we found the siesta unprofitable – and it robbed us of our minds where we tried to write our diaries. Of course there were times, when there came a lull in the storm – but even that was only momentary for reinforcement were always being brought to the front until I and sure that everyone in the radius of a dozen miles had his or her howl with the others. One old woman; evidently behind came howling on a sturdy blacks back. <Drawing of old woman carried on the back of a man> He had her sitting in a trump line of this order in which she sat- her behind, eyes revised skyward – her mouth open – wailing. And he came swinging into the village – face solemn and composed carrying her as if she were a feather.</p>
<p> They rested at about 8<span style="text-decoration:underline;">00</span> for a while. </p>

<p>Sat Oct 23<sup>rd</sup> A day of rest. In the first place we must look after our larger – But no first of all we gathered whatever men we could find – and by chance they were sufficient – to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">bend</span> go back into the bush and bring out our abandoned boxes. We had sent out the night before thru the chief, for 27 men and were surprised to see them. It was then, after this essential task was over, that we started buying. Our own supplies of milk, sugar, jam etc were very low at the time – thanks to the enforced reduction of our luggage – with the result that we were very willing to get together such food stuff as would take their place.. Eggs to cover the need for sugar and milk on the oatmeal. Bananas- to take the place of bread and desert etc.</p>
<p> And then came the great climax of the day. – For several weeks, nay months, I have been nursing a rather pitiful attempt at a moustache – a care worn, wounded and ragged little thing – but it comforted me greatly – and so long as we were without the influence of mirrors I was happy. I used to sit and caress it with the loving hand of a proud parent – and the feel of the silkey fellow under my hands was always a joy and comfort to me in all the trials thru which we had planned. But now – ah horror – I peeked into the mirror – a magnifying mirror. And my heard stood still. Gone was that <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">silky</span> delicate soft appearance – gone the fresh bloom of youth – and in its stead, curses! “a thin scraggly grey headed thing with half a mind its own – half at the beck and call of idle fancy – Ah to think I had let it come to such suffering – no – I would no longer subject it to the tortures of the damned – And with trembling fingers I got out scissors and razor. Yes, it has gone now – but I feel better – as do the others of the party.</p>
<p> Well – what more can I say of the day? We sent <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">out</span> our boys out to wash our clothes, we washed ourselves – and I even attempted to brush my hair – such are the taints of civilizations.</p>
<p> In the afternoon we opened up our trunks and aired them as well as overhauling our equipment in general. We also siestad – probably more important – at least more time consuming. </p>

<p>Fri Oct 22<sup>nd</sup> – Back in a inhabited country again. After the customary delay – which we have learned to except from our trusty followers we got packed and started. A grey, misty morning with clouds hanging low.</p>
<p>- As the morning wore on, however, the skys cleared and we were soon walking through the checkered light of a bright sun shining thru holes in the days dense green ceiling above. The porters started to sing their carrying songs – and the wild yelping so musical in its way echoed the woods. “Halelu su la lu qua lu way” in an ascending scale – And as the first man got to the second part another commenced at the beginning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Halelu salal lu qua le way Halelu</p>
<p> Halelu suala lu qualu way</p>
<p> Halelusula lu qua lu way </p>
<p>Really it is quite agreeable. And today we no longer have need for driving, scolding and pushing – whenever they stopped we rested – and without any assistance form us they started again – cheerful and friendly. After all the fuss and effort of the last few weeks it really was a great relief – and we began to be sorry that we didn’t have a whole safari of them to take us down the Sino. But why complain. And today, too, they have not stopped so frequently as before – or stayed so long. No it has been quite pleasant and we have all felt the relief of not guarding them lest we should find <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">an</span> deserted load staring us in the face. </p>
<p>So the day passed until – at about 2<span style="text-decoration:underline;">00</span> we came to the banks of the Sanguin River – down which we followed for a few minutes – then. We had <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">once</span> at last reached the end of our forest journey – and were back once more to villages and farms. We had to wait for quite a while until some natives appeared on the opposite bank. These, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">soon</span> catching sight of us disappeared to soon return with paddles, with <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">then </span>which they brought a big dugout across to our assistance.</p>
<p> I went with the first load to keep our eye on the boxes and to better take photos of the river crossing. This latter idea was somewhat impaired by the arrival of a shower which dimmed the sun and greatly diminished the beauty of the tall trees flanking the river.</p>
<p> Hal crossed soon and went up to the town when he started to make arrangements about houses. Then Strong came – and finally Shattuck. When all was across we went up to the village.</p>
<p> The main thing which first took our attention was the quite and orderly aspect of the place. Instead of many round windowless mud huts to which we had become accustomed there were comparatively few, and these were rectangular affairs with mat walls and front porch. But the surprising part was the fact that they were placed in two long rows facing on a main street or public square if you wish to call it that. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">And </span>In the center was the sacred tree – small to be sure – surrounded by stakes, and by the customary dishes and gourds in which I suppose sacrificial offerings were put on special occasions. And in the background were banana leaves – huge – pale green –slowly moving in the light breeze, - then a clearing – and the distant blue black forest <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">rising</span> towering behind. It was quite a charming place were it not for its inhabitants. <Drawing of house> The houses themselves had a certain oriental look about the slope of their roofs reminding one perhaps of pictures of Japan – a fleeting resemblance to be sure – but there neverthe- less. As I have said before – it was a small place with only about a dozen huts.</p>
<p> When I arrived at the place Towya I found that we had “leased” a house at the end of the village – by paying its owner 5 shillings to take out the mud wall and sweep the place. The owner by the way was probably a big weak above – as well as being a dandy by nature – for he has about six anklets on each leg made in the form of bells or better musical rattles which clink as he goes around. He also wears necklaces and bracelets. <Drawing of bracelet> And he will disappear mysteriously to reappear with a chicken which he locks up elsewhere – whether from fear of its annoying us or our annoying it – I don’t know. </p>
<p> As soon as we started to set up our establishment we were surrounded by a crowd of curious blacks – many of whom had come from neighboring towns with produce to sell – thinking that we were traders. Again we were in a land of plenty – sweet potatos, squash and pumpkin, rice, chickens, bananas, Edo etc – all came pouring in – so that poor Hal was kept very busy getting out tobacco – our money – and examining the wares. But all finally quieted down- we drove away the onlookers – and took our refreshing baths in comparative peace. Then a dinner – a Thanksgiving dinner at having escaped the forest – a smoke in the light of a full moon rising from behind a veritable mountain of clouds to climb thru the branches of a big silk cotton tree before soaring out over the world with its mellow splendor. Not such a bad day after all x</p>
