Wed,
Oct. 6 I had in a most fitful night
with the wind, rain and light
seas. Had practically no sleep
at all and welcomed daylight
and also a sight of the island
of Mindanao and of Davao
a little later.
Had my tea and toast early and
breakfast and then packed up
and we landed at about 8.
It is still quite raining. I took
a rickshaw up to the Palace or
Plaza Hotel and engaged room,
Met Father McButcher on the
street; dropped in to Salee's drug
store, with Paul Fairs and Mr.
Lecoley at dinner. Mrs. Morris
took McButcher and me down to
the hospital in the P.M.
Visited around with numerous
people and loafed and wrote
up my diaries.
Davao is a most attractive
looking place.
After dinner a Mr. Shewter, a Pub,
Wood's man took me to the club and
we had some drinks and then I got
to bed at about 10.30
