Transcription
The town is on a peninsula
and it would be some
distance back to collecting
grounds. But the red-tape
of getting a shooting licence
is to be considered.
We visited the office of
the American Council and
saw the town. I had my
first mangoes which went
fine although they all still in
my teeth.
There are many cactus
plants of the Pleistocene age
about for the hills. We returned
to the ship for the night as
we seemed to have done the
place.
Every indication points to
a spin storm this evening.

The Bunting are just glimpsed, but

dark ship.
