One day when the airport building began, we went to look for work. There were four of us men, who took our direction from a compass, and tromped through swampland. (All of a sudden) we heard strange noises, but couldn’t see anything because of the fog. Finally we began to see what resembled 2–3 year old children on the cliffs. When we got a bit closer, it became apparent that there were about 20 monkeys. When we approached them about 20 metres, they slowly trudged into the bushes. They seemed to be having some kind of meeting, and were making a great deal of noise.
