Nov. 13 - continued 9 speeches
by Frank House; the we had heard
on Jaluit, here on Makin and were to
hear Maiana were all long, but well thought
out and spoken - they undoubtably measure
part of the worth of their speech by its length;
after her conclusion, Chief Redfeather returned
the speech thanking them for their hospitality;
we then headed for the ship completely
surrounded by mobs of natives who showed
great interest in everything we did and said;
we departed the island at 12:30 and arrived
at the ship about 1:15 - it was then
straight to the rack.
