112 Thurs, Oct. 14 I was up at about my usual time and had breakfast with the others. Walked down to the wharf and looked over the Straits Steam Ship Co's Selanger; then back to the hotel and then down the beach collecting shells and stopped at the hospital to say good-bye to Miss Biddle. Went to the office and paid for my ticket to Jeddah £2.20 and then home for tiffin. Took a little nap and then packed up; went over to Saleh's and had some cream with him and Rev. Gilmaner and at five went down to "Selanger" with my luggage; called to see Mrs. Bryant but he was out. Came back to the hotel for dinner and at 8, went aboard my boat and we sailed for Jeddah at mine. I did a little unpacking and sat up on deck for a time. It is a beautiful night, with our palanquin. Retired at 10.
