[new page]
in sect[ion] 37 also mixed them with 26 wethers (off CK p. turnips). Went on stumping swamp in SE corner of CK p. – puketea roots, very sound + tough. Loosened earth round them + hitched on the draft [horse], Maori, with log chain + pulled them out in great style – rather heavy work. Started a small side drain (to Channing’s drain) into swamp – this is to be the pipe drain later on. In evening cycled down to se Maud – the family is now located in Mr Grieg’s house on Kawiu Road.
