     With Jien, Adjang, and Djenan, hunt in the second growth jungle along the bank of the river and get some small squirrels and birds.
     There are many Kenyahs, Dyaks from Upper Kajan, here and some of them came to me for medicine for fever, backache, headache, etc. and after giving them some medicine I made some photographs of them and also of Dyaks here and one or two of the Punans who had come down from Sungai Merah with me.
     Leave Long Hurei about 2:00 P.M. and drift down stream to Laham. Just as we arrived here (Laham) the little government steamer "Mahakkam" was leaving, going up stream and intow had a number of canoes full of Dyaks on their way to the headwaters of Mahakkam and Upper Kajan.
     Go ashore and meet the Pastor, Mr.Gossens, and spend the evening with them.
