+ | === Further postponement of airdrop. === | ||
+ | |||
+ | There had been some hope when we left Tiome, that it would be possible to do the airdrops on the 17th, but when we made contact with the M.A.F. on the mission radio it was found that because of a medical emergency, flying time would not be available on that day. The 17th was a Saturday, the M.A.F. do not normally fly on Sundays, and on the Monday a series of shuttle flights, carrying C.A.M.A staff to a conference at Pyramid, was due to start and continue for a week. It thus became certain that we would not be able to pre-drop our supplies, and that we would probably get no airdrop at all.

+ | |||
+ | We arrived at Ilaga with enough rations for the party for three days, to conserve this we changed over to native food as soon as we arrived. If a heavy aircraft did attempt to drop our supplies, we would have to be at the dropping point to make smoke signals; it was decided that we would try to penetrate to the Carstensz range using native food, wait there for the airdrop, and keep the European food for the return journey if the drop failed. On the 17th and 18th June we bought enough native food (sweet potato, taro, maize, white potato) to feed us and eighteen carriers for a week. Mr. Larson made available to us 15 kilos of rice, thus doubling the amount of lightweight food with which we could travel without the help of carriers. It was this rice which later enabled us to carry out a full reconnaissance of the North wall, in spite of the failure of the airdrop. Mr. Larson also helped us to recruit ten carriers to go with us to " | ||
