My apologies to everyone trying to help me for wasting their time - 
10.61.70.100 is happily logging what 10.61.70.1 is sending.

10.61.70.1 is being logged to /var/log/messages (finally occurred to me to 
check that).

What I'm wondering now is that why is 10.61.70.1 not being logged in 
/var/log/m0n0wall.log? Here is my /etc/syslog.conf:
