May 14, 1914.
Sungai Djambajan.

This morning I shot two squirrels from the prahn; hunt until noon but see only two small tupaias and an albino Tragulus napu but did not have a chance to shoot it; it appeared all white except its back which looked buffy or yellowish.

About two o'clock this afternoon we again began to row down stream and are now tied up to the bushes about a mile from the river's mouth. On our way down we saw many specimens of long tailed macacus monkeys and Narsalis but no more "Broks."

While hunting this morning I saw claw marks of a bear where it had climbed a tree to get honey. One often sees these however, and also holes clawed into trees by bears in search of the honey of a small species of bee.

Djambajan to Samarinda.

Reach the mouth of the Djambajan about 8:00 A.M. and tie up to a landing until nearly noon. I came to Samarinda on the launch from Tenggarung and Kayado, Ah Sing and Ibut brought the prahn down arriving here at dusk. I reached here about 2:00 P.M. and went to the post office and to Mr. Gray's office where I found my mail and from the Harbor Master received the charts I ordered, of Celebes.

Tie up my prahn to Mr. Olmeyer's landing in Karang Mumus,about a hundred yards or so from its mouth.

Dine and spend the evening at Mr. Gray's.

The weather has been fine and clear and hot all day.
