P.S- 
All finished! All 50 locations plotted, fossils packed, & clean clothes back 
from the laundry - its "time for us to go"! - but the wind whistles through 
the matting - just like Tuvutha' - & I'm not so sure! 
I wish I could understand Fijian. The Captain & a small group are here 
drinking yangosa & for 15 minutes he has kept them giggling & 
snickering like a bunch of kids! Their mirth is infectious & I've been 
grinning as I finished the map. - only 9:30 & nothing to do! Of course I 
could plot cross sections but I don't feel like it! Guess I'll catch some 
more grog & tobacco & [[underlined]] take it easy [[/underlined]] - 
Good night -

Oneata, 
Sunday. Aug. 5th. 
Dear Ed - 
As I feared - awoke to high winds & an occasional drizzling rain. I spent 
[[insertion]] A most of [[/insertion]] the morning going over all the lake 
outcrops a second time. By sifting the loose stuff I got more than 100 of 
the tiny echinoids & quite a few other good specimens. 
Slept my Sunday sleep after a chicken dinner & now at 1015 P.M. have 
just finished inking and coloring Oneata's cross-sections. Have plotted 
them on the same sheet with the map. Have improved the boundaries 
somewhat with additional observations this morning & the map looks all 
right. There are 8 igneous areas, 2 of basal Is, 3 of XI. Is. & 6 flats. Its 
the best weeks work I've done in Lian.
