Fri, Oct 13: Did not sleep well last night on account of my menth; was up early and we came to anchor at Jolo at six; I had tea and my bath, break fast at 8.30 and then went ashore at once. Met Bishop Brent on the street and walked through the Merc market with him; he was leaving for his industrial school. Went to the Army and Navy club looking for the Clements; met Major Chapman and some other officers there and found that the Clements have gone on the mountains. After tiffin on the boat I called on the Fairs where the Clements are stopping and Mrs. F. and I packed up their things; Mrs. F. came to the boat and Mr. had too, then to the tennis court and then to the Fairs for a drink. The Clements came in about dark and we hurried them on the boat. We were to sail at 3 but did not get off until 7. After dinner I loofed our deck until about 10. It is a beautiful moonlight night.
