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.
