Description

• Work report covering the months of September and October, 1899 and detailing each day's activities, written by Robert Rawlings. 
• From September 1st to 20th, it appears that drilling work was stopped, first due to the labourers being on strike, then Rawlings being sick, and the water supply failing.
• Once the repairs had been carried out, the drilling continued on September 21st, at a depth of 183 feet.  
• Work appears to diminish at the end of October. The last entry reads "Not sufficient coolies to run rig(?)" suggesting that there was a shortage of labour.
