Afternoon: When work was resumed violent storms with heavy falls of rain forced us to suspend the work. We then devoted ourselves to personal work (pottery, notes etc...) in the Mission house. Around 16 h 00. The rain stopping Mr., Miss Courtois, Jacques Lagarce and I went down to the area to check the state of the site. The rain does not seem to have damaged the upper layer of the trenches. We decide to go towards the south rampart to get an idea of the site.

Nota During the morning, a small plane military made several passes at 300 feet around above the excavations and the surrounding land.
