text: After the animals had been killed and divided soon the camp grew quiet. Only in front of the village was it still lively where the gaonburas, dobashis and coolies were sitting. We called this the club, and Williams said he hoped it would not turn out to be "extension night". We had our supper under a roof shelter. The fish caught in the morning was excellent. Although it is not necessary yet, vigils are posted all night long.
