Packed up by 8.30 or so, but breakfasted late (Jeff looking at bridge & esp. fish). Left at 10a.m., after Jeff had tried for big fish, got snagged & been rescued by entire Naga Navy, complete with Placket. Progress slow & singularly damp. No. 2. of crew Kuki, & looked half-witted. Humja saviour of situation and boated, punted & paddled like an angel, arguing with No. 2 at intervals
