Wed,
Oct. 20 I war awak: early and had
my tea on deck and caught a
distant view of Prince Balm as
mr came into the harbor of Jessel-
ton. We anchored at about noon:
finished up my packing and
stayed on the boat for breakfast.
Paid $58 for sixty cn. 400 cigarettes
and my cwh and then mr put
our things on the train and took
them off at the Park House; The bthp.
Lairn and I met The President on the
street; they took the train to call on
the Gov. Gen. but he was busy with
his mail and could not see
us: so many British.
I spent the afternoon in getting
settled, strolling around the town
and doing some shopping, getting
off some postals and changing
the coins on my plants.
I collected an acrospier and
just before dark went out
and collected some sedges.
The Park House is a much
comfortable place and we all
very happy here
