Mom,
Oct 25
Had heavy rains during the
night; was up early and went
to the engine for my presses
and found the whole thing a mass
of cinders; a most distressing
experience; later I went out
and down under I managed to
dig out a few things which Mrs.
Coleman and I put in new
presses. The Chaplain and I
called on the Resident to make
a few inquiries and then we
did a little shopping.
In the afternoon we began
our preliminary packing and
tying things up preparatory
to the trail. I had to try
paper to replace my drums.
It has been shoveling work
of the afternoon. Had a little
chat with a fellow who has
just come in from Kota Belud.
In the morning I finished
my letter to Ling Dora and Fan
and then turned into bed at
about 10.30. I begin to feel now
as if I should get to King Bali
