The record continued, brief and hard, relating deaths of carriers, further attacks by natives, terrible straits for lack of food and lack of water; the finding at last of a small patch of sago that enabled them to secure enough food for a last rush back to the Romilly river. Grace had written little after that ; the fever that ended his life some weeks later was burning out his strength day by day, and he was barely able to reach the coast alive.

Two plots with a good stand of alfalfa were selected, and one was given two renovations, one an early epring cultivation and another cultivation Just after the first cutting. This gave a cultivation for each crop. The first cutting on the cultivated field showed an Increase of 43 per cent over the untilled plot and the second an Increase of 43 per cent with a 40 per cent overage for the year.
