Sab.
Oct. 16 My state-room was so hot that I
went up on deck and slept as
much as possible with my corn
mouth. Woke up early and had
tea and my bath and breakfast
at 8.30. I spent most of the
forenoon in watching the blemons
with their plants in press;
helped Mrs. blemens with some of
the ferns. We got into Sandaker
C.M.S. between 12 and 1 and came
up to the wharf. Dr. Osme and
another gentleman called on us.
After tiffin my mouth became
so painful that I walked up
to Dr. Osme's house; had tea with
him and the warm tea caused the
ulcers in my mouth to break giving
me great relief. Later we went
out for a walk and saw many
interesting plants and I collected
two Lygodiums; came home with
Dr. Osme for dinner; Mr. Led
a little chat on botanical things
and then he came down to the
boat with me. The Dr. is a
most interesting and charming
man.
