106 Faa, Oct. 8 I was up at about six and had my bath and an early breakfast. Ran in on Sallee by and then started down the beach towards the Jambos, Hospital; collected some shells and then stopped at the Hospital and called on Miss Riddle. Wandered on down through the Mars Village and then struck on to the beach and collected shells until about one and then came back for tiffin with Miss Riddell and Mr. Burb. Miss R. took me over to see the mewing. I got back home at about four, had a bath and changed clothes and then made a call, and had tea with Col. and Mrs. Peter Traub; most charming people. After dinner I called on Mr. Cameron, an engineer but he was out. Looked around the hotel, walked down to the wharf to see the Pannulus and then home; looked over my shells and got to bed early.
