Tues. Dec. 7 Had a horrible night of it with the thunder, lightning, wind, rain, and the noise of the boat; I think the boat was anchored during part of the night. Daylight was a great relief. Ate tea, went to bed at 6.30 and as I had tendencies towards sickness, my breakfast also and finally got up at 10.30 and had my bath & dressed. We got into Tondah, in a very wind storm at about 12, and it has been terrific all the after- noon with spells of rain: it is the tail of a Philippines typhoon. I wrote there for a few minutes in the afternoon and bought some post cards but it was so windy there was no pleasure in walking. Only one of the British passengers speaks to me - I neither want to borrow money nor an invitation to dinner I am very thankful we are tied up to the wharf rather than at sea. Watched the storm from deck while glis dinner and then to bed
