We decide to stay at the Darwin Hotel (as opposed to the Victoria Hotel). The local watering hole is named Bertram's Bar, which women go to as well. We meet Guramara and Edith Jackson while getting drinks. Charles had reached out to Edith before our arrival, and Guramara is looking for trade. Guramara knew another aboriginal that, on his walkabout, said he saw the Bat God and said it was the worst thing he ever laid eyes on. He's also aware of the stories of the Rainbow Serpent and that corpses have been found like described by Anthony Cowles. Lloyd overhears (listen) an aboriginal relating to a friend about shading dealings at Randolph Shipping Company that are concerning him. Edith attempts to approach them and flash some money (credit rating - fail), but he sits up rail straight and says he doesn't know anything. Guramara tries (persuade), but also fails.

Edith knows that Toddy Randolph, a man in his mid-40s known to frequent Bertram's Bar, is the owner of Randolph Shipping Company. Chung Li gets charming with them (charm) and learns that Randolph lives at his office.

We go back to the hotel to sleep.
