Tarukua point and make for the Village before sun set. So I said to 
myself no more travelling or Sailing Canoe for me until Old Nick comes 
back.

Later - same day - 
Willy has just been up bringing a jar of crayfish (for Edmondson) and 
returning with the case of fossils I had packed up here. While here he 
recorded his promised "note to the Doctor". Had a visit with Old Stewart 
and we sail tomorrow (Sunday) at 10:30 a.m. for Naian. Weather 
prospects excellent. Sa mothe Lakemba! - H.

Dear Ed - 
Awoke to rain and strong winds but the rain stopped & at 10:30 we

gray skies. We didn't hoist the mainsail but with the engine going ran 
before the wind with just the jibs to keep her steady. Had to go around to 
the lee side of the island to anchor - even there it is not so good. A boy 
put off in the dingy with the anchor and hooked it on the edge of the 
reef. So the [[underlined]] Lei [[/underlined]] rides on the open sea 
tonight. Old Stewart stayed on board as he only had a catch-on line of 
about 20 fathoms (the law requires 50!) and if the wind shifts he'll have 
to move. 
Willy & I came ashore as soon as we "anchored" at 3:30 and traversed 
the north coast through Narothivo to the village. Fresh-looking A [[left 
margin, insertion]] [[arrow]] no orbitoids yet [[/insertion]] hard Is along 
part of the coast - then agglomerate & flows striking N40E ± & dipping at 
all angles. Some nearly vertical & I suspect the whole mass is much 
faulted. 
Reached here at sunset. This is Willy's old stomping ground - where he 
"made his fortune"! Hard-boiled Willy showed a lot of emotion
