Up early and went up hill. I went off down spur to jooms. Saw Nagas with shields etc. They said they were only out jooming which was probably true. Went on to village. Found all coolies assembled outside. Nagas had come running in from fields to village and seem disposed not to let us through, at least so the Colonel said. It was evidently fear and not knowing what we were up to. As soon as I advanced they brought out fowls and rice etc. and when the advance guard would allow me to go on a little ahead without crowding after me like an undisciplined rabble, we soon restored confidence. We had tiffin at the 2nd Nungtang and after Ogle and I went on to Pusimi and plane tabled. After back to Mungrung and down to river Teshi. Ogle left me to take down stores (goats, rice etc) while I went onto Satemi and got into camp about 6.30. |

The camp is a good one at the junction of two streams with plenty of good open ground. |
