Oh Father, dear Father, come home with me now,
The clock in the belfry strikes three,
The biby's been spewink all over the floor,
There's no one to clean it but me.

Barnes, Mombasa

The "Windhuk" was expected this afternoon, but she never showed up. Bookra, Inshallah. The Persian line celebrated the day by running the "Ahmadi" ashore right off the Light, where the Frenchman went ashore last March. Just a few days ago we had word that the "Gouveneur" went on the rocks at Imhambane, and is now gang kaput kabisa. Heavy doing's in local shipping circles.

Wonder of wonders! I sold 100 bales today at the home market price. I'll bet I am the only one. It must be the highest market in years. 147 chips for 3.50's is going a few!
