Ckintirraation of May lii/55 letter 
The next day the l8th Baker and young Sexton went back to Ifelungu. 
He also had come down for Bredo party, and Dr. Sexton and I went on with 
car and truck to Uvira at the head N. end of Lake Tanganyika to keep our 
date with Dr. Marlier, the fish-man (ichtl^ologist) to IRSAC and the 
director of its hydrobiological station there. Delved in starting and 
by the roads which, though undergoing Iraprovenent, are in considerable 
part over and through the mountains one way up for a time and one way 
down for a time. The natives guarding the gates, a bamboo pole on 
uprights across the road signal from one station up or down the mountain 
by beating on an empty gasoline drirni placed by their thatched shelter 
by the gateway. Works like a chann in absence of telephonic corarauni- 
cation, and trucks and cai^ get up and down without too much delay. The 
road is narrow and winding but with srane rewarding viewi. We go t 
to the head of the Lake and Ihrira rather late around 8 p.m. and after 
dinner at the local hotel went to rooms furnished us on the second floor 
of the laboratory building. This is a former hotel, large and spacious 
that was started and never fitiished till the government took it over 
and finished it, as a Hydrobiological Station. 
Please forgive (again) the abrupt ending. This is Sat. the 20th 
and we must go over this a.m. to Usumbura to pay respects to Qov. of 
Province, Jean Paul Harroy, as he leaves for an official trip at 11 a.m. 
I have the chance to mail this in Usumbura so here goes, hope to tell 
you of this lovely station and site in ny next to you. 
Sincerely,
