We had a nice visit with the Ingles, He is doing his best 
to persuade the Silverash to go into Baltimore first, end the 
Goodyear people are offering extra freight as an inducement . 
Indeed, from his description of it, I can imagine tigers and pythons 
being well-cusioned on the homeward journey, with tons of rubber 
to soften any bumps in the ocean. 
The usual Sunday afternoon crowd came, asking permission to 
see the animals. One Dutch crowd that we unwittingly let in had 
had a few too many drinks, and had us very nervous. . One man 
picked up a djeruk bali that Barbara had proudly bought in the 
market this morning, and bowled it between the baby bears, and 
finally fed it to the American bear, holding it in his hand 
while he did so. Another one in the party thought it was funny 
to tease Harry while he was having his dinner. When I asked him 
to leave the tiger alone, he said T, But he didn f t bite me" . I 
didn 1 t care about that - but Harry has had tummy troubles again 
and I didn ? t want the tiger disturbed • A woman with them let 
the Himalayan bear cubs lick her face - both cubs bite any of us 
on no provocation. We were glad when our merry friends got out 
of our kampong whole.

We were having breakfast when a big truck drew up in front 
of the camp with a load of animals from Fort de Kock. Mr. 
Nutzman, the manager, had come with them, and it was like undoing 
Christmas presents to see the crates and boxes he had brought . 
A female tapir, &t wo kinds of porcupines were the only animals, 
but he brought the mo st gorgeous birds, including fairy bluebirds, 
silver-eared throstles, barbets and bulbuls, argus pheasants, 
hornbills and frigate birds. 
We had a good day, on the whole, adding one bamboo rat, 
one entellus monkey and three more hornbills to our men agerie. 
A squirrel escaped, but was caught again - our boys are pretty 
good when they can outrun a squirrel I 
We had plenty of callers - first Nutzman, who had lunch 
with us and spent the day; Helen Coolidge, who also lunched with 
us, and had an Italian Consul in tow; DeJong, from Dolok Ilir 
came to say good-bye, and brought me a lovely old Meningkabau 
silver bracelet; also the Coenraad-S were both here in the evening. 
The Dutchman who had us so worried yesterday by feeding the 
animals embara ssed us further by sending me a bunch of flowers and 
a djeruk bali to replace the one he fed to the bear . 
Bill feels better, and has been assured that he will be able 
to take giraffe out of Port Sudan and still comply with the quaran- 
tine regulations. Jennier cheered us all up at dinner when the 
talk turned to "Where is our Pispis collector?" by remarking 
languidly "The little town they loved so much they named it 
twice."
