78 P.S - All finished! All 50 locations plotted, fossils packed, & clean clothes back from the laundry - its "time for us to go"! - but the wind whistles through the matting - just like Tuvutha' - & I'm not so sure! I wish I could understand Fijian. The Captain & a small group are here drinking yangosa & for 15 minutes he has kept them giggling & snickering like a bunch of kids! Their mirth is infectious & I've been grinning as I finished the map. - only 9:30 & nothing to do! Of course I could plot cross sections but I don't feel like it! Guess I'll catch some more grog & tobacco & [[underlined]] take it easy [[/underlined]] - Good night - H. [[end page]] [[start page]] 79 Oneata, Sunday. Aug. 5th. Dear Ed - As I feared - awoke to high winds & an occasional drizzling rain. I spent [[insertion]] ^ most of [[/insertion]] the morning going over all the lake outcrops a second time. By sifting the loose stuff I got more than 100 of the tiny echinoids & quite a few other good specimens. Slept my Sunday sleep after a chicken dinner & now at 1015 P.M. have just finished inking and coloring Oneata's cross-sections. Have plotted them on the same sheet with the map. Have improved the boundaries somewhat with additional observations this morning & the map looks all right. There are 8 igneous areas, 2 of basal ls, 3 of Xl. ls. & 6 flats. Its the best weeks work I've done in Lian.
