      Arise 5:30 & with Si Bait go inland; get the pig I shot last night. The Dyaks helped skin it & they quickly disposed of the meat. It was slow work thinning the skin with no sciving knife.
     About subset, I went inland with Si Loie to wait at a mudhole for lembu but after waiting for 4 hours & not getting anything but bites from mosquitos and ants, we returned to the kampong.
