Namuka, July 19, '34 
Dear Ed - 
Last night I mailed you "Vol. I - the yarn of the stranded sailor" - 1 hope 
this will be the "yarn of the [[underline]] sailing [[/underline]] sailor" for at 
6 [[underline]]00 [[underline/]] AM tomorrow morning I am due to be on 
the high seas - may they not be too "high"! _ _ 
This morning the [[underline]]Advnce[[/underline]] & The Tulanga canoe 
sailed early. We (Willy & I & the schoolmaster) went across to the north 
side of the island & examined the ancient fortified cave that I told you of 
yesterday. From a high point on the northern ridge Willy (The old Eagle- 
Eye!) sighted two canoes. He rightly figured that one was the Tulanga 
canoe bound for Oneata & the other [[underline]]OUR[[/underline]] 
canoe bound for Namuka. Our canoe anchored at Matandoh in the early 
afternoon & [[end page]]
