I do not feel well and think my blood in a bad condition for sores are continually breaking out on my arms and legs & will not seem to heal.

Late in the afternoon the men poled along the shore, reaching near Sandaren Tengah but there was no harbor and we were continually rolling.

Monday, March 31, 1913.
Near Labuan Pandjang.

Between sailing and poling we nearly reached "Laiou".

About ten o'clock, my attention was called to a roost of "Caboge" so I went in the canoe among the mangroves & other trees to have a look at these Bats or flying foxes. Just as I came to where they were roosting, there was a band of proboscis monkeys that were making a great disturbance among them, for what purpose I could not find out. I collected ten of these bats and made a couple of exposures of them at roost. One of the pictures ought to be very good.

Tuesday, April 1, 1913.
"Labuan Penang".

This morning it delighted me to feel a good breeze from behind and we made use of every minute of it and reached here about ten o'clock, the wind having died when we came around the lighthouse at Tanjong Mangkalihat and shifted to the north so we could not clear the next point so we came into Labuan Penong, no more than dropped anchor when the wind again shifted to southeast which lasted for about fifteen minutes we had just gotten nicely started. This weather here is as uncertain as the natives.
