102 not empty now. While we were at a rug shop, Chai arrived with a note from Harry saying the police would not let him devise me on the ship because his passport was not vised. We visited the police head and promised to fix it, by Tom gaining a statement as an official of the registration concerning the custom- able for Harry. As a matter of fact we had just set out most beautifully on the police. We were settled at the ship in thinking before they knew that we were there when it was too late to get us out. They did the only other thing - which was to send greeds to accompany us as when our men left the village except the next shop. This day they carried out even on the ship but the day after Tom & Barker arrived but we lost them half way up the hill - they could not stand the strain. The greeds were rather decent fellows - much better than the average. They didn't bother us any. They had a sitting standing all day by the big tree in front of our house - what for David's on Monday it was fulling.
